https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/contrib/gis/functions/#django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions.Distance
 > On MySQL, a raw float value is returned, as it’s not possible to
 automatically determine the unit of the field.
 but
 {{{
 In [3]: City.objects.annotate(d=Distance('point', Point(0, 0,
 srid=4326))).first().d
 Out[3]: Distance(m=1.41421356237)
 }}}

 I see two ways how to fix it:
 1. made Distance function to return raw values on MySQL
 2. raise NotImplemented if Distance function is applied to geodetic field
