I was creating a code that can coordinate data from CSV file by using a split as the separator, and will calculate the distance between two input coordinates. But the result always shows the error a.lat is not a function. I already surf the web about this particular error type and can't seem to find the correct solution, can anyone please help me with this error.
Here is my coordinate example :
-6.168454914420734, 106.7574467
-6.16897225004169, 106.7570443
And here is my code :

Reset to default 21You are passing numbers (actually, strings) into the calcDistanc
function. It is using the google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween
method which expects two google.maps.LatLng
objects (which have a .lat()
method). You need to calculate the distance between two google.maps.LatLng objects.
function calcDistance(p1, p2){
return (google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(p1, p2) / 1000).toFixed(2);
}
for(var e=0;e<4;e++){
var coor=byline[e].split(',');
alert(calcDistance(coor[0],coor[1]));
}
code snippet:
function calcDistance(p1, p2) {
return (google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(p1, p2) / 1000).toFixed(2);
}
var allText = "-6.168454914420734, 106.7574467\n-6.16897225004169, 106.7570443";
var byline = allText.split('\n');
var path = [];
for (var e = 0; e < byline.length; e++) {
var coor = byline[e].split(',');
path.push(new google.maps.LatLng(coor[0], coor[1]));
if (path.length > 1)
alert(calcDistance(path[0], path[1]));
}
