Hi
I was inspired by Reza Dorrani video on geospatial components on youtube: https://youtu.be/cj2cC8EBj-I
So far everything is working perfectly.
The calculation above is the distance following roads, and estimated traveltime with current traffic.
I would like to add a calculation with the distance between the 2 waypoint in a straight line, does anyone know how to do that?
Just like this website, with the same waypoints:
Solved! Go to Solution.
Finally made it work. Thanks to PowerAppster on Youtube: https://youtu.be/h-ZSd4w926k
Here is how my version works. (Note: my syntax is danish, so you might need to replace ; with ,)
Set pi as a global variable:
Set(varPI;0,017453292519943295)
Set Waypoint 1 and Waypoint 2 as Global variables:
Hi @UI1222
The way I would approach this would be to call a Flow, or to create a custom connector that calls the Bing REST API.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/rest-services/routes/calculate-a-distance-matrix
I'm tagging Reza so that he can better advise.
Thank you for the input.
Does the Bing API supports this? or is it under development, like some of the other things @RezaDorrani mentioned in the video.
The latitude and longitude are in the data set. I guess its possible to calculate it using math, in some way, but im not sure how.
Hi @UI1222 ,
Do you want to calculate the distance between 2 waypoints (straight line)?
Regarding the needs that you mentioned, I think the GetRoute action under Bing Map connector could achieve your needs. I have made a test on my side, please try the following workaround:
Set the Text property of the Label to following:
BingMaps.GetRoute(TextInput1.Text, TextInput2.Text, {optimize:"distance",distanceUnit:"Kilometer"}).travelDistance
Note: More details about GetRoute action under the Bing Map connector, please check the following article:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/bingmaps/#get-route
Of course, if could also consider calculate the Distance between two different Way Points using Math function. Please check and see if the following thread solution could help in your scenario:
Please try above solution, then check if the issue is solved.
Regards,
Thank you for the input.
Yes, I want to calculate the distance between 2 waypoints in a straight line.
A long story short. We have to pay our employees according to some rules made 100 years ago. Before route calculations where available. Back then, you drew circles on a map around your Company, the further the employee had to travel away from the company to a building site, the more you had to pay.
I'm already using the GetRoute formula in my calculation in the first picture. It works great. But its not what I need in this situation.
Note: The distance actually vary a lot between the two calculations. 33 vs 18 km.
Hi @UI1222 ,
Have you tried the Math Calculation solution I provided above?
If could also consider calculate the Distance between two different Way Points using Math function. Please check and see if the following thread solution could help in your scenario:
Please also consider try the above Math Calculation Solution, then check if it could help in your scenario.

Hi, I've been trying to duplicate this; I have kind of really similar issue with my work, but here the issue is no the routes but the lack of a directions system in the country AND I need to check if my coworkers are at our customer's locations as needed.
Currentlý I have this:
Waypoints:
Set(varWP1,BingMaps.GetLocationByPoint(Value(lb_Loc_Lat.Text),Value(lb_Loc_Lon.Text)));
Set(varWP2,BingMaps.GetLocationByPoint(Value(lb_Sup_Lat.Text),Value(lb_Sup_Lon.Text)))
Note: lb_Sup_Lat/Lon and lob_Loc_Lat/Lon has the coordinates as Decimal Degrees (DD); May this be the issue? But the location of my coworker is Location.Latitude/Longitude so I believe it shouldn't be...
Label of Distances:
Round(12742 * Asin(Sqrt(0.5 - Cos((varWP1.point.coordinates.latitude - varWP2.point.coordinates.latitude) * varPI)/2 + Cos(varWP2.point.coordinates.latitude * varPI) * Cos(varWP1.point.coordinates.latitude * varPI) * (1 - Cos((varWP1.point.coordinates.longitude - varWP2.point.coordinates.longitude) * varPI)) / 2)) , 2)
Note: Just replaced the parts highlighted as Bold) and result still "0"
Hi UI1222, thanks for sharing this. Unfortunately I'm getting an error - I think it's because 2 parameters are being used for the Sqrt function? Looks like a 0 is being provided followed by a formula? I took the 0 out but I'm still not getting the correct result 😞
Dear Community Members, We'd like to let you know of an upcoming change to the community platform: starting July 16th, the platform will transition to a READ ONLY mode until July 22nd. During this period, members will not be able to Kudo, Comment, or Reply to any posts. On July 22nd, please be on the lookout for a message sent to the email address registered on your community profile. This email is crucial as it will contain your unique code and link to register for the new platform encompassing all of the communities. What to Expect in the New Community: A more unified experience where all products, including Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio, and Power Pages, will be accessible from one community.Community Blogs that you can syndicate and link to for automatic updates. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this transition. Stay tuned for the exciting new features and a seamless community experience ahead!
We are excited to announce the Summer of Solutions Challenge! This challenge is kicking off on Monday, June 17th and will run for (4) weeks. The challenge is open to all Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio & Power Pages) community members. We invite you to participate in a quest to provide solutions in the Forums to as many questions as you can. Answers can be provided in all the communities. Entry Period: This Challenge will consist of four weekly Entry Periods as follows (each an “Entry Period”) - 12:00 a.m. PT on June 17, 2024 – 11:59 p.m. PT on June 23, 2024 - 12:00 a.m. PT on June 24, 2024 – 11:59 p.m. PT on June 30, 2024 - 12:00 a.m. PT on July 1, 2024 – 11:59 p.m. PT on July 7, 2024 - 12:00 a.m. PT on July 8, 2024 – 11:59 p.m. PT on July 14, 2024 Entries will be eligible for the Entry Period in which they are received and will not carryover to subsequent weekly entry periods. You must enter into each weekly Entry Period separately. How to Enter: We invite you to participate in a quest to provide "Accepted Solutions" to as many questions as you can. Answers can be provided in all the communities. Users must provide a solution which can be an “Accepted Solution” in the Forums in all of the communities and there are no limits to the number of “Accepted Solutions” that a member can provide for entries in this challenge, but each entry must be substantially unique and different. Winner Selection and Prizes: At the end of each week, we will list the top ten (10) Community users which will consist of: 5 Community Members & 5 Super Users and they will advance to the final drawing. We will post each week in the News & Announcements the top 10 Solution providers. At the end of the challenge, we will add all of the top 10 weekly names and enter them into a random drawing. Then we will randomly select ten (10) winners (5 Community Members & 5 Super Users) from among all eligible entrants received across all weekly Entry Periods to receive the prize listed below. If a winner declines, we will draw again at random for the next winner. A user will only be able to win once overall. If they are drawn multiple times, another user will be drawn at random. Individuals will be contacted before the announcement with the opportunity to claim or deny the prize. Once all of the winners have been notified, we will post in the News & Announcements of each community with the list of winners. Each winner will receive one (1) Pass to the Power Platform Conference in Las Vegas, Sep. 18-20, 2024 ($1800 value).
