Default How do I find out the current metrics value when "automatic metrics" is enabled ? "Route print" interpretation?

In my notebook I have two possible internet connections: Wired LAN and Wireless LAN.

The metrics for both connections are specified "automatic".

How do I find out now the real (internally assigned) metrics value ?

From what I have heard the "route print" command shows this.
Ok, here is my "route print" output. Wired LAN is 192.168.0.20
and Wireless LAN is 192.168.0.21.

SO if I look in the first two lines of the route table both metrics are 1.

Which lines are relevant? I can guess that LAN is 20 and WLAN 25 but this
is just a guess not a real basic knowledge.

How do I find out (e.g. on other computer) which
of the multiple lines below I should take for comparing the matrics value ?
