try searching for 'Full-Text'.

But the documentation is correct either way. A CLLocationDistance itself isn't necessarily in meters, it's just a double. The functions which return it, like getDistanceFrom: and the altitude property tell you what it means and tells you that it's in meters.

check the function documentation as well as the type info.

Is distance in metres/miles/km? How do I display it on screen in a platform independent way?

From the documentation of -getDistanceFrom:
"Returns the distance (in meters) from the receiver’s coordinate to the coordinate of the specified location."

Thanks Duncan! Why do people always seem to be able to find stuff in the documentation. When I "Option + Mouse double click" on "CLLocationDistance" Xcode only shows me this!

   CLLocationDistance
   A distance measurement from an existing location.

   typedef double CLLocationDistance;
   Availability
   Available in iPhone OS 2.0 and later.
   Declared In
   CLLocation.h
