MongoDB print distance between two points

问题:

When I am firing this query on MongoDB, I am getting all the places in the proximity of 500 miles to the specified co-ordinates. But I want to know the exact distance between the specified co-ordinates and the result location.

db.new_stores.find({ "geometry": { $nearSphere: { $geometry: { type: "Point", coordinates: [ -81.093699, 32.074673 ] }, $maxDistance: 500 * 3963 } } } ).pretty()

My Output looks like:

{
    "_id" : ObjectId("565172058bc200b0db0f75b1"),
    "type" : "Feature",
    "geometry" : {
        "type" : "Point",
        "coordinates" : [
            -80.148826,
            25.941116
        ]
    },
    "properties" : {
        "Name" : "Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza",
        "Address" : "17901 Biscayne Blvd, Aventura, FL"
    }
}

I also want to know the distance of this place from the specified co-ordinate. I created 2dsphere index on geometry.

You can use the $geoNear aggregate pipeline stage to produce a distance from the queried point:

 db.new_stores.aggregate([
    { "$geoNear": {
        "near": {
            "type": "Point",
            "coordinates": [ -81.093699, 32.074673 ]
        }, 
        "maxDistance": 500 * 1609,
        "spherical": true,
        "distanceField": "distance",
        "distanceMultiplier": 0.000621371
    }}
]).pretty()

This allows you to specify "distanceField" which will produce another field in the output documents containing the distance from the queried point. You can also use "distanceMultiplier" to apply any conversion to the output distance as required ( i.e meters to miles, and noting that all GeoJSON distances are returned in meters )

There is also the geoNear command with similar options, but it of course does not return a cursor as output.
