You can implement the Haversine formula to calculate distances. It’s a pain to setup but works well. You can find examples on the forums here.

Or you could see if the Google Maps or Google Places APIs have a distance function.

I was able to program it to get my current location easily, but it gave me oscillating and instantaneous latitude and longitude  
But my simple goal is to get my current geographic location with a specified radius  
Thank you for your cooperation

@mohamed.zahran.ali4 What on the blocks you are using is not working? The `search places` block is what we would recommend but will be hard to help you without more information. Thanks!
