In the help file of r.grow.distance under the NOTES header, it is
mentioned that the user has the option to specify 4 different metrics.
That should be 5; the geodesic distance is missing.
It would perhaps be good to include a small explanation of this metric,
including that it should be considered for latitude/longitude locations.
Perhaps change the first two lines under the Notes header from:
The user has the option of specifying four different metrics which control the geometry in which grown cells are created, (controlled by the metric parameter): Euclidean, Squared, Manhattan, and Maximum.
to:
The user has the option of specifying five different metrics which control the geometry in which grown cells are created, (controlled by the metric parameter): Euclidean, Squared, Manhattan, Maximum and geodesic
