How do I get the duration from one location to another?

[novarse]

Hi,
Can you please tell me how to obtain the time taken to get from place
to another? I can't figure it out.
Thank you

DirectionsLeg has a method getDuration();

Hi Vinay,
I tried the code below, which works well except when I include the
'request.setUnitSystem("METRIC");' line which results in an error:
com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptException: (Error): Invalid value
for property <unitSystem>: METRIC

Also can you please tell me when might this project be merged into gwt-
google-apis?

Thanks
stephen


private void getDuration() {
DirectionsRequest request = new DirectionsRequest();
request.setDestinationString("penn station, new york, ny");
request.setOriginString("grand central station, new york, ny");
request.setTravelMode("DRIVING");
request.setUnitSystem("METRIC");

DirectionsService dirService = new DirectionsService();
dirService.route(request, new DirectionsCallback() {

@Override
public void callback(HasDirectionsResult response, String status) {
if (status.equals("OK")) {
DirectionsLeg dl = (DirectionsLeg) response.getRoutes()
.get(0).getLegs().get(0);
System.out.println("Distance: "
+ dl.getDistance().getText() + "; Duration: "
+ dl.getDuration().getText());
}
}
});
