Thank you for a great module!

I have setup the Map module for Directory browsing and when I display the Distance it has been calculated in Miles and shows "mi" after the value.

How do I configure it to show the distance in kilometers and have "kM" after the distance. Is there a raw distance variable that I can use to do my own calculations?

I am answerering my own question.

The Calculation is done in the Google.Standard.js module in the \DesktopModules\Map\Visuals folder.

On line 137 and again on line 229 there is a cast of the distance result to a fixed number. The value by default is multipled by 1 and if you change this to 1.0693 and change the suffix (which is 'mi') to kM you have your distances displayed in kilometers.

The only other problem is that you still enter the test radius in miles but this, I hope, will be changed in a later version.

Thanks again for a great module.

Neil
