no, in 6.4 you get distance in meters not decimal degrees. Just computation is too slow. > >From r29568 [1] is distance (in LL locations) given in meters.

So it seems that a bug in v.distance still exists, then? > Shouldn't r29568 have fixed this? Sorry, in which sense? In LL projection is used Vect_line_geodesic_length() to calculate distances.
