Hi! I've installed grass 6.3, since in the descritption of v.distance says "In lat-long locations v.distance gives distances (dist and to_along) in meters not in degrees calculated as geodesic distances on a sphere.".
I tried it out, but the values produced in a ll location are degrees! I've checked the source code (https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_3/vector/v.distance/) and indeed it does not contain any source to compute meters, like for example in the source for version 6.4. So, am I correct, that the description is faulty for the 6.3 version, or am I missing something fundamental?? In the first case, could someone correct the desciption, since it can cause somewhat loss of time and effort (like for me), if one believes the current description...
