I ran into the same question.
I would say: both can be defended (think of "close to" but "far from").
Google, however, gives only about 40 000 answers to "equidistant to"
and as many as 400 000 to "equidistant from". This shows the usage.
So I feel safe to say "equidistant from".

I head the term equidistant for the first time the other day. I was walking with a friend and she used it. I said to her, why don't you just say equal distance rather than equidistant. My friend said it's grammatically correct to say equidistant rather than equal distance. Is this correct?

Both are good terms; the choice depends upon grammar and context. Use FrazeIt to find reputable examples of each.

Thanks, that's what I thought. What's Frazelt?

Google it. I cannot do all your thinking for you.
