<Location 1>: geoPosition variable
Name of the geoPosition variable corresponding to the first location to compare.
<Location 2>: geoPosition variable
Name of the geoPosition variable corresponding to the second location to compare.
<Unit>: Integer constant
Unit in which the distance must be returned: | |
| geoKilometer | Distance in kilometers. |
geoMeter
(default value) | Distance in meters. |
| geoMile | Distance in international earth miles. |
