This is part 4 of a series of tutorial for the googleDirections plugin.

1. By default, directions are calculated and displayed using the unit system of the origin's country or region.
2. For example, a route from "Chicago, IL" to "Toronto, ONT" will display results in miles, while the reverse route will display results in kilometers.
3. Origins expressed using latitude/longitude coordinates rather than addresses always default to metric units.
4. You can specify the unit system to be used in the driving instructions:
• METRIC specifies usage of the metric system. Distances are shown using kilometers.
• IMPERIAL specifies usage of the Imperial (English) system. Distances are shown using miles.
