I'm creating an application that will tell a user how far away a large number of points are from their current position.
Each point has a longitude and latitude.
I've read over this article http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html
and seen this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/837872/calculate-distance-in-meters-when-you-know-longitude-and-latitude-in-java
There are a number of calculations (50-200) that need carried about.
If speed is more important than the accuracy of these calculations, which one is best?
