some people were saying expr does internal double precision calculation, is it true? i dont think so...

Merci Cyrille,
in the formula the intermediate steps are quite small fractions and it seems their precision is important. In the test case the Pd implementation is 8917.74 km off the proper result (2887.26). However I need a precision of about 1m.
i don't know how you get the 2887.26 km proper result : it's not the value computed by the website you send (using value in the patch).
So I assume the haversine formula is not implementable in Pd at all? (unless double precision will be there that is)
Or is there a workaround?
i'll thing about it. cheers

hello,
pow 2 did not like negative number. use "t f f" and "*" in order to compute the square of a number.
i correct 2 of your formula according to what i found in your link. they both gives the same result : 11805 the same value computed with your 2nd link gives 12210. for other value, it also look close. so i guess the difference is number precision.
cheers c

I tried to implement the Haversine formula in Pd which should give you the distance in km between two lat long coordinates.

One huge obstacle is the imprecision of the 32bit floats, but even without that I can't get the formula to work. I kept 3 failed implementations in the test-case.

Could someone give me a hand please?
