- Method Detail
  - getNearbyDistance
```
double getNearbyDistance(O origin,
                         D destination)
```
    Measures the distance from the origin to the destination. The distance can be in any unit, such a meters, foot, seconds or milliseconds. For example, vehicle routing often uses driving time in seconds.
    Distances can be asymmetrical: the distance from an origin to a destination often differs from the distance from that destination to that origin.
    
    Parameters:
    
    origin - never null
    
    destination - never null
    
    Returns:
    
    Preferably always >= 0.0. If origin == destination, it usually returns 0.0.
