title: Google MAP API v3: computeDistanceBetween method and distance in metric form
body: <p>I want to calculate the direct distance between to positions in metric form. (ie: from A to B in kilometers).</p>
  
  <p>I didn't understand what <a href="http://code.google.com/intl/el/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/geometry.html#Distance" rel="noreferrer">computeDistanceBetween</a> method returns in units.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
