Simple mechanism for adding distance information between places #831

@mfhepp

Description

@mfhepp

Local businesses often indicate the distance to other places, e.g.

Hotels:

  • 5 miles from the city center
  • 500 m to the Museum of Modern Arts
  • 25 km to Munich Airport

Real Estate:

  • 1 mile to Edison Community College

While the Euclidean distance can be computed from the geo-coordinates, such sites (like HRS hotel reservation sites) typically add value by highlighting relevant places in the vicinity.

I have just submitted a pull request #832 that addresses this issue. It is based on QuantitativeValue and thus also supports temporal units of measurement (knowing of their subjectivity).
