If you are pressing D, D will giv you distance as the crow flies.
If you press R A E you will get the distance displayed bby the route
from your current position or R A D for route total distance.

example, when I create a vehicle route to Sheffield which is approximately
221 miles it tells me It is 187 miles, is it calculating as the crow flies
or have I somewhere got settings wrong? The example about is just one, but
it is in both pedestrian, vehicle and other so is at least constant! I find
it misleading as I walk a lot and will often look at distance before I
decide on modes of transport, but when calculating how much time I have before
a meeting I need a more accurate distance to know how long it would take me
to walk a route, hope that makes sense! I guess if there is no way to
change the setting I will just have to put up with it and take it as one of
it's quirks!
