Question

Hi all,

Is it possible to measure distances using google maps?
What is pretended is that given two different locations i'd obtain the distance in KM between them using google maps.

Thanks in advance,
RP

And from some other comments:
If you reeally wanna make it rich, then you can use gDirectionsOptions https://tinyurl.com/2bfbm2 using which u can get driving path between those two places.
You can show that path –
here’s cool tutorial for that – https://tinyurl.com/dggkxk
You, of course, will need to tweak it a lil bit…

Hope it helps a little

Hi guys,

our ready to use Expenses app have that functionality already done!! Take a look.

When using the app, create a new expense, select mileage and then calculate distance. To see how its done just install it on your own server.

Hi I've found a lot of joy using Google's Distance Matrix API.
