Subject: Getting Mileage Data from Google Maps

[Jim Carwardine]

Thanks, guys... I've never done anything as heavy as use an API, although
I'm aware of them.  I'll see what I can find.  I liked the Google maps
because that have a very accurate directions description for where I live -
about 25 km outside of Halifax and each turn in direction is accompanied by
a distance so I assume that the total distance is the sum of the individual
sections.  It also appears that Google uses Mapquest as the output is
identical... Jim
