Finding distance between CLLocationCoordinate2D points

Question

I know from documentation we can find distance between two CLLocation points using the function, distanceFromLocation:. But my problem is I dont ha

Answer 1

Swift 5: CLLocationCoordinate2D extension to calculate distance:

extension CLLocationCoordinate2D {
    /// Returns distance from coordianate in meters.
    /// - Parameter from: coordinate which will be used as end point.
    /// - Returns: Returns distance in meters.
    func distance(from: CLLocationCoordinate2D) -> CLLocationDistance {
        let from = CLLocation(latitude: from.latitude, longitude: from.longitude)
        let to = CLLocation(latitude: self.latitude, longitude: self.longitude)
        return from.distance(from: to)
    }
}

Usage:

let coordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 11, longitude: 39)
let from = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 30, longitude: 43)
let distance = coordinate.distance(from: from)
