George suggests to use

I would recommend that you allow the calculations to process the data using miles. If you want the results in KM, simply multiply values by 1.609344. You could modify the CalculateDistance function to multiply by this value just prior to returning.


but I don't see how did he arrive to the constants used in these formulas (I assume Michel used his scripts).
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
