  # S4 method for .MoveTrackStack

All values are returned in meters if the projection of the coordinates is longlat, otherwise their in map units mostly meters as well. For longlat distance on a sphere is calculated using the ellipsoid else on a plane using Pythagoras. Check and set the projection of your Move or MoveStack object using the proj4string() function.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
  data(fishers)
  data(leroy)
  distance(leroy) #distances from a Move object 
  distance(fishers) #distances from a MoveStack object
  #distanceSummary(leroy) # summary of distance measures of a Move object
  #distanceSummary(fishers) # summary of distance measures of a MoveStack object
# }
