Hello, I'm trying to determine the distance between various latitude / longitude coordinates for a given area.
I have used the modified haversine formula, which helps identify the distance assuming that I have found the correct pairing; however, to avoid manually verifying that I have the right pairing (A,B vs. A,Z) via google maps it seems that a more efficient method would be to use a matrix to determine the minimum distance between specific coordinates for a given area. The idea is that the minimum distance will be the distance selected since it will be in the correct sequencing (A,B; C,D) as opposed to A,D.
Is there an automated way to setup a matrix so that I can identify the distance between every Lat/Long coordinate and use the minimum distances found for between each? (making it easier to determine an appropriate avg distance).
