GoogleMaps Polyline Length in V3

Question

There doesn\'t seem to be a length funciton for the Polyline in Google Maps anymore in V3.

Has anyone found a workaround for this functionality gap?

I went looking for the same information and found that the api call you're looking for is in the geometry.spherical namespace.

Here's the code I'm using:

//Path is the mvc array of lat/lng that makes up the polyline
var path = $scope.courseLine.getPath();

$scope.totalDistance = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeLength(path);
$scope.totalMiles = ($scope.totalDistance * 0.00062137).toFixed(2) + " mi";
                });
