Assuming that both the node and the user are location enabled, you can use Getdirections to provide you with a map by using a path like this:

getdirections/location_n2u/nnn/uuu

where 'nnn' is the node ID and 'uuu' is the user ID
This will show the total distance if you have enabled that in configuration.
The distance is the distance by road and is calculated by the javascript that fetched the map from Google using the route information provided.
Getdirections does not provide a way of collecting the distance from Google without using a map.

You might be able to write your own javascript that does, see Directions Service for the details on how to use Google API v3

There are functions in the Getlocations module, see getlocations/modules/getlocations_fields/getlocations_fields.functions.inc, there are functions in there to calculate the distance between two points, eg function getlocations_fields_earth_distance()
You will need to supply the latitude/longitude of each point in decimal degrees.

You should be able to use the functions, renamed of course in your custom module.
