Python's geopy package features two distance measurements techniques: Great Circle and Vincenty's formulae.
>>> from geopy.distance import great_circle >>> from geopy.distance import vincenty >>> p1 = (31.8300167,35.0662833) # (lat, lon) - https://goo.gl/maps/TQwDd >>> p2 = (31.8300000,35.0708167) # (lat, lon) - https://goo.gl/maps/lHrrg >>> vincenty(p1, p2).meters 429.16765838976664 >>> great_circle(p3, p4).meters 428.4088367903001 What is the difference? Which distance measurement is preferred?
