Distance Calculation between two longitude-latitude points (with the default of the first point being current location) for meteor applications

Performs a straigth line calculation between two points -- very fast, no dependencies on external webservices.

The long form is;

{{> lldistance here=Geolocation.latLng lat=37.31 lng=-121.9 }}

or the shorter form;

{{> lldistance lat=37.31 lng=-121.9 }}

And you will get output like;

340 feet
6.3 miles
22 miles

or if you prefer metric

220 m
2.7 km
15 km

You can style the text by modifying the css class .lldistance

lldistance.metric = true;  // to get km and meters
lldistance.metric = false; // to get miles and feet (default)

lldistance.miles = [" miles"," feet"]; // labes used for imperial
lldistance.km    = [" km"," m"];       // labes used for metric
