it's "off the BEATEN path" and it means to take the road less traveled.

True. The distance traveled is a scalar quantity that only depends on the initial and final positions, regardless of the path taken between them. This is known as the distance traveled being independent of the path.
One word is Orbit -T
distance
Actually,as the planet Revolve and Rotate the path is an orbit....^_^
The word for this device is an "odometer" from the Greek roots hodos (path) and métron (measure).
