Answer 1

Please refer this code below to understand properly along with API mentioning in script Link from I got the code and helped me to understand. https://www.geodatasource.com/developers/javascript

function distance(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2, unit) {
    var radlat1 = Math.PI * lat1/180
    var radlat2 = Math.PI * lat2/180
    var theta = lon1-lon2
    var radtheta = Math.PI * theta/180
    var dist = Math.sin(radlat1) * Math.sin(radlat2) + Math.cos(radlat1) * Math.cos(radlat2) * Math.cos(radtheta);
    if (dist > 1) {
        dist = 1;
    }
    dist = Math.acos(dist)
    dist = dist * 180/Math.PI
    dist = dist * 60 * 1.1515
    if (unit=="K") { dist = dist * 1.609344 }
    if (unit=="N") { dist = dist * 0.8684 }
    return dist
}

var data = [{
    "code": "0001",
    "lat": "1.28210155945393",
    "lng": "103.81722480263163",
    "location": "Stop 1"
}, {
    "code": "0003",
    "lat": "1.2777380589964",
    "lng": "103.83749709165197",
    "location": "Stop 2"
}, {
    "code": "0002",
    "lat": "1.27832046633393",
    "lng": "103.83762574759974",
    "location": "Stop 3"
}];

var LocNear= "";
var poslat = 1.28210155945393;
var poslng = 103.81722480263163;

for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
    // if this location is within 0.1KM of the user, add it to the list
    if (distance(poslat, poslng, data[i].lat, data[i].lng, "K") <= 0.1) {
        LocNear+= '
' + data[i].location + ' - ' + data[i].code + '
';
    }
}

$('#nearbystops').append(LocNear);
