Distances by default are Mapbox "cheap" distances if maximal network distances are < 100km, otherwise Haversine distances. Calling this function forces all calls to weight_streetnet from that point on to use geodesic distances. These are more computationally expensive to calculate, and weighting networks will likely take more time.
Value
Nothing; the function is called for its side-effect only of setting distance calculations to geodesic.
