Calculates the distance along a rhumb line between two points in degrees, radians, miles, or kilometers.

• from Coord origin point

• to Coord destination point

• options Object? Optional parameters

  • options.units string can be degrees, radians, miles, or kilometers (optional, default "kilometers")

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

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

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

Returns number distance between the two points
