Script to calculate multiple distances at one

[mhh]

Hello group,

I am looking for a script using the google API that can calculate
several driving distances at once.

I have 25 different coordinates as starting points and 1 single
coordinate as the ending point. The script should calculate all 25
distances at once.

Could anybody help me if there is no script available ? I know it's
possible since I saw it on a website.

Thanks a lot !

The Directions service can do that but NOT all 25 routes in one batch.
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/services.html#Directions

You'd have to request one route after another and watch you don't fall
foul of the Directions services' limits.
(Don't request too many routes in too short a space of time).

Can't you look at the source code of the site where you've seen 25
routes calculated at once to see how that site did it?

Martin.

I have a similar need, but I ended up calculating the distances one by
one.
If you want, I can send you a code sample.

By the way, I'm aware that for the Public Google Maps API, it is not
allowed to use geocoding/directions features without showing a map.

Does that also apply to the Premier API?
I couldn't find this information on the terms of service.

Thanks in advance,

Rafael

Try the extendedApi...

http://www.basicslabs.com/Projects/extendedApi/

you can use a latlng and call the function distanceFrom(latlng) to get the distance in meters... Just sum de results and get what you need.

I'm actually trying to do the same thing (and I'll admit I'm not good
at javascript.. and this is my first time with the Google Maps API (ok
well maybe 2nd.. the other time was ages ago).

I have the map and all that working, but I'm trying to pull the start
location from MySQL using PHP (which is storing the info in an array
per row), and then trying to find a way to feed that into the Google
Maps API so the directions from the recorded starting points to the
single destination all show up on the same map. I'm having no luck and
am completely stuck

Thanks!

Ron
