Distance and speed measurement

[Damian_K]

Hi. I want to measure the distance during the run and the time in which it was completed. Any tips?

Use gps to find the distance you travelled

[Damian_K]

Do you have any tutorial? or can you show me how to use gps blocks? I just don’t know how to start.

DistanceCalc : Calculate distance between two places from coordinates

Well… I am here to present my first extension (ever) to this community. As you have read in title DistanceCalc calculates distance (sometimes accurate) between two places from coordinates (latitudes and longitudes). Blocks Just a single block… [12-19_17_29] Usage It has just one function/block as you can see in above screenshot. [12-19_18_00] It accepts four coordinates in format like lat1,lng1,lat2, and lng2 and all of them should be integers(double).It returns distance in KiloMetres. …

Calculate a distance between two points

Hello Koders, I hope you are all doing well! A few days ago, someone asked me : How can we calculate a distance between two points with Kodular? I then replied that I had made an application a year ago (with Thunkable , when I didn’t know Makeroid yet) and that I could then help him. But I wanted to do more, I thought : Maybe other people are wondering how to do it, so why not do a little tutorial? That’s why, today I’ll show you How to calculate a distance bet…

Well, I have an extension to calculate the distance. Suppose it will use a “location sensor” and a “curent adress” block to determine the starting point. I want the application to automatically end the measurement in the situation when a certain distance is traveled. let’s assume 3 km. Will I do it with “location sensor” blocks?

When location changed get the geo codes and convert into distance from the starting point.

If the result touches 3km stop the location sensor to off…

Simple

It doesn’t work for me. Since the differences are very small and it does not calculate short distances. I wanted to use a pedometer, but it shows the distance badly at higher speeds. I want to calculate distance while running or cycling.
