Unsafe calculationSafe calculationWarning: The distances presented at the "Nearby locations" path-points herunder, are calculated automatically and specify the precise (direct) distance between the two points (path-point and location point). The actual distance between these nearby locations may in many cases differ from the direct distance e.g.: when the route is not straight but contains turns.

On the example presented, the calculation of the actual distance between points A-B is considered safe, and the one that calculates the distance between points C-D is unsafe.
