getCenter() returns distance in km, not meters

[jd327]

You have distance as meters everywhere in your documentation, but getCenter returns kilometers. geolib@2.0.14

Do you really need the distance at all? It was dropped completely in 2.0.15. I should remove it from the docs, unless you tell me that you need this value (and what you need it for :wink: ).

I'm using this function for store locator software to calculate the distance between users and stores. It seems like basic geo calculation that a geo library should support, what were the reasons for dropping it?

[manuelbieh]

That's what geolib.getDistance(src, dest) is meant for.

geolib.getCenter(poly) is just to give you the center point of a polygon.

Example: var distanceFromUserToStore = geolib.getDistance(userPosition, storePosition);
