MATLAB: Dfiference between euclidean and distance function using MAPPING toolbox for latitude and longitude calulation?

Mapping Toolbox

Can you please a give a simply example where the use of euclidean distance and the use of distance from map leads to a different result?
Please find below my code where A and B, contains [lat,long] in degrees
 A=[-0.8147,0.9058]
 B=[-0.9575,0.7922]
distances_euclidean = sqrt(sum(bsxfun(@minus, B, A).^2,2));
distance_map=distance(A,B)
Both leads to same value? so please give an example for different lat and long where euclidean and distance from MAP leads to different outcome?

Best Answer

Your latitudes are very near 0, where longitudes are the maximum distance apart. Add (for example) 70 or 80 degrees to those latitudes and you will get different answers, especially if you also increase the range of longitudes.
