geokit-go

An assortment of geolocation related tools, all packaged in one easy to use kit. A direct port from http://github.com/MichaelSolati/geokit

Methods

Distance(start *LatLng, end *LatLng, unit *string)(float64, error)

Calculates the distance, in kilometers, between two coordinates.

start and end must be LatLng { Lat: 0, Lng: 0 }.

start := &geokit.LatLng{Lat: 41.3083, Lng: -72.9279};
end := &geokit.LatLng{Lat: -33.8688, Lng: 151.2093};

distance, _ := geokit.Distance(location1, location2, nil); // distance == 16082.811206563834

Hash(coordinates *LatLng, precision *int)(*string, error)

Generates Geohash of coordinates.

coordinates must be LatLng { Lat: 0, Lng: 0 }.

coordinates := &geokit.LatLng{Lat: 41.3083,  Lng: -72.9279};

hash, _ := geokit.Hash(coordinates, nil); // hash == 'drk4urzw2c'

DecodeHash(hash string) (*LatLng, error)

Decodes a Geohash into its Latitude and Longitude as a LatLng.

hash := 'r3gx2f77b';

coordinates, _ := geokit.DecodeHash(hash); // coordinates === &geokit.LatLng{Lat: -33.86881113052368,  Lng: 151.2093186378479}

ValidateCoordinates(coordinates *LatLng) (bool, error)

Validates coordinates and returns a boolean if valid, or throws an error if invalid.

coordinates must be LatLng { lat: 0, lng: 0 }.

coordinates := &geokit.LatLng{Lat: 41.3083,  Lng: -72.9279};

isValid, _ = geokit.ValidateCoordinates(coordinates); // true

ValidateHash(hash string) (bool, error)

Validates a Geohash and returns a boolean if valid, or throws an error if invalid.

hash := 'r3gx2f77b';

isValid = geokit.ValidateHash(hash); // true
