I'm doing some research on route distance calculation APIs, and I came across this API from Ovi/Nokia: http://api.maps.ovi.com/devguide/getting_started.html#Services
Does anyone know if they have an equivalent REST API that can be used outside of a client browser scenario?
If not, what's the best option for route distance calculation APIs? I've looked into Google, Bing, and MapQuest, but I would like to be able to use it internally without a daily rate limit.
Thanks for your help.
There is the maps image API, if showing the routes as images are sufficient. This page has the complete list if Nokia Maps APIs.
I do not want to repeat what is done, so please refer to the Nokia API reference, but to be more accurate use distance method from nokia.maps.geo.Coordinate. The complete documentation is here

I am working on a flights planning app and considering using Sabre to handle my backend.
My app requires an "Explore Destionations" functionallity, something simillar to Google Flights' Explore Destionations featrue.
In theory, Destination Finder would have been perfect for the job.
The problem is, Destination Finder doesn't seem to provide a way to search for one way trips. In other words, you have to provide a return date.
Does anyone know if there is a way to achive this, Either by using Destination Finder or using a different API?
At the moment Destination Finder will only provide Round Trip Lead Fares as part of the Inspirational Shop request.
For One Way Shopping, you can look at the Bargain Finder Max API under Search for Air, available in both REST and SOAP.

You need to use Bargain Finder Max APi

I tired with DXB=>LHR but it returned connecting airports but for LAX=>JFK direct results I guess sabre is not strong in europe may be thats the reason
I am new to Google Maps API and I have a requirement to integrate Google Maps API with an ASP.Net application. Is there a Google service where in I can input a UK postcode and radius as input parameters and get results only, without the map.
For example if I search for solicitors in a particular area like Z1 1XY (not real post code) with a radius of 5 mi, can I get the results of all solicitors with the postcodes 5 mile radius? Is there any service that would return the result set only? I know GeoCoding does something similar but can I provide radius as one of the input parameter and get results.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The Geocoding API may only be used in conjunction with a Google map; geocoding results without displaying them on a map is prohibited. For complete details on allowed usage, consult the Maps API Terms of Service License Restrictions.

yes, you can use the Google Geocoding API to do address lookups (in this case postcodes). The response contains lat/lon co-ordinates which you can then subsequently use as the epicenter of your search to find items within a radius. Have a look at this blog post on how to use the DbGeography in .NET to perform radius queries based on lat/lon co-ordinates.
I am developing a node.js application which (amongst other things) will recieve location information from remote users and allow them to interact with each other via the server.
I'm using the Google Tracks API because I like the idea of being able to track users when appropriate, set up geofencing to define my coverage areas and to visualise what's happening.
The Google tracks API documentation is reasonable, however I'm not sure how I would go about actually visualising the entities and geofencing I have setup on a map - this is not something that I can find covered elsewhere.
Ideally I would be able to simply embed a map into a webpage which could link with my Tracks API account and show all of the fencing and entities. Another nice feature would be the ability to 'draw' a geofence, is there anything out there which would allow this?
Thanks :-)
Tracks API does not currently offer any kind of server-side rendering for your Tracks data, so the best approach is to use the API to retrieve the crumbs (or just current location) and render them using polylines (or just markers) in the Google Maps API. You can similarly get all your geofences and render them using polygons.
Because this is done clientside, you'll probably want to limit your data to a reasonable number (depending on the browser/OS combination, something like O(thousands) of vertices).
All this assumes that your app meets the terms of service of the Maps API so check those out as well.
Below link is very helpful. I want to do extra but I can't. I want to draw route between 2 or more places like google does, in that source code it has only 2 places (Under 'Direction' Section).
Please help me and thanks in advance

Google Maps JavaScript API V3 allow map objects to store state and update their presentation automatically by implementing MVC objects.
Two of these may interest you in your project.
DirectionsService and DirectionsWaypoint.
Specifically you can use Waypoints to provide locations on the route. These waypoints can be made movable.
i am developing an application which makes use of Google maps. Google maps API returns the result with map on new screen but I want to retrieve only the latitude and longitudinal coordinates .. so please help me with:
How to retrieve them
How to dynamically send name and address of the location
This is too broad a question so without further information it is hard to explain.
