## distance

Calculates the distance between two [points][1] in degrees, radians, miles, or kilometers.
This uses the [Haversine formula][2] to account for global curvature.

**Parameters**

-   `from` **[Coord][3]** origin point
-   `to` **[Coord][3]** destination point
-   `options` **[Object][4]** Optional parameters (optional, default `{}`)
    -   `options.units` **[string][5]** can be degrees, radians, miles, or kilometers (optional, default `'kilometers'`)

**Examples**

```javascript
var from = turf.point([-75.343, 39.984]);
var to = turf.point([-75.534, 39.123]);
var options = {units: 'miles'};

var distance = turf.distance(from, to, options);

//addToMap
var addToMap = [from, to];
from.properties.distance = distance;
to.properties.distance = distance;
```

Returns **[number][6]** distance between the two points
