The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I have an app that does mileage hundreds of times a day. It's written in RPG, uses the HTTPAPI library to make the calls, and YAJL to parse the JSON response (it was written before DATA-INTO, so now I would use YAJLINTO). It requires a Google account with a credit card attached, but I've never been charged. When I first started using the API, you were given 2000 free calls a day. A year or so ago they transitioned to simply waving the first $200 of charges per month.
Heres's the doc page:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distance-matrix/start
That should get you going in the right direction. If you have any other questions, I'll do what I can.

Subject: Using Google maps to get the distance between two addresses
I am just starting to investigate how to do this and wondered if anyone in the group had already done this using Google Maps or some other site.
The requirement is to process a list of from and to street addresses and calculate the distance by road between the two addresses.
If anyone has already done this and would like to point me in nthe right direction it would be appreciated.
Thanks
Don Brown
