as far as i saw is no distancesFrom function in V3 atm (or is there
now?)
might try this here:
google.maps.LatLng.prototype.distanceFrom = function(newLatLng)
{
var R = 6371000; // m
var lat1 = this.lat();
var lon1 = this.lng();
var lat2 = newLatLng.lat();
var lon2 = newLatLng.lng();
var dLat = (lat2-lat1) * Math.PI / 180;
var dLon = (lon2-lon1) * Math.PI / 180;
var a = Math.sin(dLat/2) * Math.sin(dLat/2) +
Math.cos(lat1 * Math.PI / 180 ) * Math.cos(lat2 * Math.PI /
180 )
*
Math.sin(dLon/2) * Math.sin(dLon/2);
var c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a));
var d = R * c;
return d;
}
regards
