public class LngLatDistance
extends java.lang.Object
implements SpatialPrimitiveDistance<NumberVector>, NumberVectorDistance<NumberVector>

Distance function for 2D vectors in Longitude, Latitude form.

The input data must be in degrees (not radians), and the output distance will be in meters (see EarthModel.distanceDeg(double, double, double, double)).

This implementation allows index accelerated queries using R*-trees (by providing a point-to-rectangle minimum distance).
