Is there a way to convert meters to kilometers in dart?

i am using geolocator: ^7.3.1 package They mentioned a function that calculates the distance between two geographical points , But the result comes in meters by default

How could this be done in Km

    getDistance(){
    double distanceInMeters = Geolocator.distanceBetween(52.2165157, 6.9437819, 52.3546274, 4.8285838);
    print(distanceInMeters); // result comes in meters by default which is 144851.67191816124 meters
  }

How can I get the result in kilometers, and in short number not like that long number in their example?

Solution

  • Conversion

      double distanceInMeters = 144851.67191816124;
  double distanceInKiloMeters = distanceInMeters / 1000;
  double roundDistanceInKM =
      double.parse((distanceInKiloMeters).toStringAsFixed(2));

  print(distanceInMeters);
  print(distanceInKiloMeters);
  print(roundDistanceInKM);

    Output

    144851.67191816124
144.85167191816123
144.85
