"Furthest drone distance" is not the longest drone journey, it is the distance (in a straight line) from the from point where you started your drone to the most distant portal that you reached.
I guess I was misunderstanding what you were trying to communicate. I don't see why there would be a need to track it any other way than the current method.
Apologies for confusion caused by misnaming the "Furthest Drone Distance" metric in stats.
A journey is not measured in any visible way - but is a convenient word to describe the time the drone is away from the owner (from launch to return by recall - voluntary or forced). The "Furthest Drone Distance" metric can be considered as the radius of the smallest circle, centered on the first portal of the journey, that contains all the portals in that journey. With rounding down to get a whole kilometre.

Exactly. I guess you did those 100km the same way others mentioned here, right?
And that confirms my point that there is NO other Distance stat for the Drone. Though there could be, or just a counter of moved-to portals.
@saarstahl, I know that. I just reiterated that.

I wouldn't mind having the current distance of my drone from the start portal in the "NOW" stats.
I'd be down for that :D

I hope that is clearer.
