Unitize, or Normalize, is used to make a vector of ANY length to have the length 1 unit. (whatever unit).

This is very useful when you care only about the direction, and you know the distance from other data. Then unitize you vector and multiply it with your (otherwise known length) and then you have have a vector with both the direction and the length you wanted.
