Duration for pre-defined route

[ncohen]

Hi,
I would like to get the duration for a pre-defined route... it seems that duration 'goes' only with directions but what if I have a precise pre-defined route? Is there such a thing as a webservice request?

Thanks

To get the distance and duration, the directions service needs to
return that "precice predefined route". You can use waypoints (up to
8 with the free API) to modify the route that the directions service
returns, if you doesn't get the one you want.
