Liquid Galaxy project

Calculate the distance between two coordinates

For this task, you will capture coordinates from Google Earth in an XML file, that will be used as POIs in our user interfaces, like the Android tablet application we have to control the Liquid Galaxy. You will capture coordinates for 2 POIs (you also have to make a text file with the XML content)..

Then, you must search on how to calculate the distance between these two POIs's coordinates and write a code that calculates this distance. Feel free to use any programming language.

Sample POI file: https://tinyurl.com/ycwoslrb Here is our main POI document Read this document explaining the process of capturing a POI. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B65mVD2plXXmv6HFFsY6NS66gzRe3qZKGQChQwmk4kE/edit?usp=sharing Link to Play Store Liquid Galaxy Android Controller : https://tinyurl.com/ybv68rx8

Send a text file with the XML content and a code file to lgcodein@gmail.com and also post in in this task for mentor review.
