I have never uttered either of those phrases. As I said, I give directions in miles, or quarters of miles, or simply tell someone the next turn, or the turn after this. People are so bad at estimating distance that giving directions in some small unit like meters or feet is unhelpful.
You made a comparison of volume to area. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but it's entertaining.
