A simple library for dealing with (geographical) locations.

use Location\Distance\Haversine;
// Amsterdam, NL.
$amsterdam = new Location(new Coordinate2d(52.3079989, 4.9715451));
// Venlo, NL.
$venlo = new Location(new Coordinate2d(51.3703748, 6.1724031));
// The distance between Venlo and Amsterdam is 132950 meters (132km 950m)
// using the Haversine formula.
$distance = $amsterdam->calculateDistanceFromLocation($venlo, new Haversine());Please note that UTM, MGRS and USNG coordinate systems are not yet supported.
