# HAVERSINE

HAVERSINE(`lat1`,`lon1`, `lat2`, `lon2`, `miles`)

Calculates the haversine (or great circle) distance between a pair of coordinates.

| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `lat1`   | Latitude of first coordinate                                             |
| `lon1`   | Longitude of first coordinate                                            |
| `lat2`   | Latitude of second coordinate                                            |
| `lon2`   | Longitude of second coordinate                                           |
