Outputs the great-circle (haversine) distance between the two points in meters, rounded UP to the next whole meter (earth radius 6,371,000 m). Reads geo_start_point/geo_end_point when wired, otherwise the deprecated start_point/end_point objects (latitude/longitude or lat/lon keys); missing or non-numeric coordinates count as 0, and the accuracy pin is ignored. Example: identical points -> 0.

A typical wiring for get distance: from city feeds the geo_start_point pin; from city feeds the geo_end_point pin; the meters out pin feeds cast to value.

Version history

Introduced in v10.4.28.
