I am using the example from the forum. I am trying to create a simple app to keep a running distance from a starting point. Below is the code I have. The problem is the distance calculation. getDistanceKM. I would also like to change this to MILES. Any help would be appreciated.
B4X: 
Sub Process_Globals
    Dim GPS1 As GPS
End Sub

Sub Globals
    Dim lblLon As Label
    Dim lblLat As Label
    Dim lblSpeed As Label
    Dim lblSatellites As Label
    Dim btnTurnOnGps As Button
    Dim latstart,latstop,lonstart,lonstop As String
    Dim lblDistance As Label
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    If FirstTime Then
        GPS1.Initialize("GPS")
    End If
    Activity.LoadLayout("GPSMain")
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume
    If GPS1.GPSEnabled = False Then
        ToastMessageShow("Please enable the GPS device.", True)
        StartActivity(GPS1.LocationSettingsIntent) 'Will open the relevant settings screen.
    Else
        GPS1.Start(0, 0) 'Listen to GPS with no filters.
    End If
End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)
    GPS1.Stop
End Sub

Sub GPS_LocationChanged (Location1 As Location)
    lblLat.Text = "Lat = " & Location1.ConvertToMinutes(Location1.Latitude)
    lblLon.Text = "Lon = " & Location1.ConvertToMinutes(Location1.Longitude)
    lblSpeed.Text = "Speed = " & Location1.Speed
    latstop = Location1.Latitude
    lonstop =Location1.Longitude
    getdistanceKM(latstart,lonstart,latstop,lonstop)
    latstart = latstop
    lonstart = lonstop

End Sub

I am still having a problem getting the distance to add up correctly. I saw in the post that someone is using an accelometer. Is using gps the best way?

What exactly do you want to do ?

An accelerometer is of no use to determine a disrance.

Is using gps the best way?

Again, what exactly do you want to do ?

I am trying to create a pedometer. When the user clicks the start button it will start calculating distance. Here is how I am trying to calculate the distance.
B4X: 
Sub btnTurnOnGps_click
Dim location1 As Location
Location1.Initialize

If btnturnongps.Text = "Start" Then
    'btnturnongps.Initialize("")
    btnTurnOnGps.Text = "Stop"
    btnTurnOnGps.TextColor = Colors.white
    cols1(0) = Colors.Red
    cols1(1) = Colors.Red
    gd1.Initialize("TOP_BOTTOM",cols1)
    gd1.CornerRadius = 11
    btnturnongps.Background = gd1
    GPS1.Start(0, 0) 'Listen to GPS with no filters.

    latstart =  Location1.Latitude
    lonstart = Location1.Longitude
Else
    btnTurnOnGps.Text = "Start"
    btnTurnOnGps.TextColor = Colors.Black
    gps1.Stop
    'btnturnongps.Initialize( Colors.RGB(124, 252, 0),CornerRadius)
    btnturnongps.Color = Colors.RGB(124, 252, 0)
    getdistanceKM(latstart,lonstart,latstop,lonstop)
End If

End Sub

B4X: 
Sub getDistanceKM(lat1, long1, lat2, long2)

    DEGREES_TO_RADIANS = (cPI / 180.0)
    EARTH_RADIUS = 6371.0
    'Msgbox(lat1,"lat1")
    rlat1 = DEGREES_TO_RADIANS * lat1
    rlong1 = DEGREES_TO_RADIANS * long1
    rlat2 = DEGREES_TO_RADIANS * lat2
    rlong2 = DEGREES_TO_RADIANS * long2

    p1 = Cos(rlat1) * Cos(rlong1) * Cos(rlat2) * Cos(rlong2)
    p2 = Cos(rlat1) * Sin(rlong1) * Cos(rlat2) * Sin(rlong2)
    p3 = Sin(rlat1) * Sin(rlat2)

    ret = p1 + p2 + p3
    If ret = 1 Then Return 0
    
    ret = ACos(ret)
    ret = (ret * EARTH_RADIUS) * 062
    'Msgbox(ret,"RET")
distance = ret + distance
'Msgbox(distance,"Dist")
lbldistance.text = distance
    
End Sub

    If ret = 1 Then Return 0

End Sub

Not tested, I don't have a device (yet).

Best regards.

I am getting an numberFormatException on.
rlat1=DEGREES_TO_radians * lat1.
I am guessing it doesn't like:
Distance = Distance + getdistanceKM(latstart,lonstart,latstop,lonstop)

I suggest you to change the following:
B4X: 
Sub getDistanceKM(lat1 As Double, long1 As Double, lat2 As Double, long2 As Double) As Double
B4X: 
GPS1.Start(0, 0) 'Listen to GPS with no filters.
latstart = 0
lonstart = 0
Distance = 0
B4X: 
If lat1 = 0 and long1 = 0 then
 latstart = latstop
 longstart = longstop
End If 
Distance = Distance + getdistanceKM(latstart,lonstart,latstop,lonstop)

Where do I put that last piece? Because Lat1 and Long1 is part of the Sub getDistanceKM(lat1, long1, lat2, long2) As Double SUB Routine.

Sorry, it should be:
B4X: 
Sub GPS_LocationChanged (Location1 As Location)
.
.
   latstop = Location1.Latitude
   lonstop = Location1.Longitude
   If latstart = 0 and longstart = 0 then
     latstart = latstop
     longstart = longstop
   End If 
   Distance = Distance + getdistanceKM(latstart,lonstart,latstop,lonstop)
   latstart = latstop
   longstart = longstop
End Sub

Best regards.

Thank you Klaus. I am not getting the error anymore but now it is reporting outrageous distance. 1133856.8812304384 and I am sitting still.

Yeah. What I am calling it lonstart and lonstop and you were calling it long. I made the corrections but now I am back to NaN error.

Hey Klaus, I am getting it in the following sub. It is returning something like1.950325013383847383E-4 or NaN.
B4X: 
Sub getDistanceKM(lat1 As Double, long1 As Double, lat2 As Double, long2 As Double) As Double
    DEGREES_TO_RADIANS = (cPI / 180.0)
    EARTH_RADIUS = 3959.0
    rlat1 = DEGREES_TO_RADIANS * lat1
    rlong1 = DEGREES_TO_RADIANS * long1
    rlat2 = DEGREES_TO_RADIANS * lat2
    rlong2 = DEGREES_TO_RADIANS * long2
    p1 = Cos(rlat1) * Cos(rlong1) * Cos(rlat2) * Cos(rlong2)
    p2 = Cos(rlat1) * Sin(rlong1) * Cos(rlat2) * Sin(rlong2)
    p3 = Sin(rlat1) * Sin(rlat2)
    ret = p1 + p2 + p3
    If ret = 1 Then Return 0
      ret = ACos(ret)
      ret = (ret * EARTH_RADIUS) * 0.621
    Return ret
End Sub
