I know there is an api to calculate the distance between two points for google apps but what i am looking for is the google apps script api to calculate the driving distance not the direct distance between two points. Is there such an api?
Google directions API gives you the total distance between the source and destination.
try this
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=nj&destination=ny&sensor=false
API Documentation here
One can follow the below link to get more details about it.

I have latitude and longitude where my car is driving on highway. I want to know whether my car speed is greater than highway speed where I am driving
You can achieve this by using the simple Routing API(used for routing usecases) or Fleet Telematics API(used for complex routing problems like trucks).
Routing API: The below example provides the speed limits in a particular route. You can check this against your car speed limit to verify if you are driving within limits. Read more about the api in Here developer site - https://developer.here.com/documentation/routing/topics/resource-get-route.html
https://route.api.here.com/routing/7.2/calculateroute.json?waypoint0=41.69758,-87.78397&waypoint1=41.70056,-87.77429&mode=fastest;car&storage=readonly&linkAttributes=speedLimit&app_code=yyyyy&app_id=xxxx&representation=linkPaging
Fleet Telematics API: You can get the speedlimit information along a route using this api as well. Here provides numerous examples on how to do this in https://tcs.ext.here.com/examples site. Just login with your Here credentials and search for speed. You can take a look at the source code there. You can also read more about this api in Here website https://developer.here.com/documentation/fleet-telematics/dev_guide/index.html
Hope you find these useful!Happy Coding!
I am using Google Map API 3.0 to calculate the distance of two places. I can calculate it easily.
But now I need to find out every bridge or ferry service tolls (if any).
For example if I try to get the route direction of [DFW Airport, Grapevine, TX, USA] to [McKinney, TX, USA] in Google Map I get “This route has tolls”.
But using Google Map API I can’t find it. How can I figure out this?
I think Google Maps gives advice about tolls and ferries.
But Google Maps API totally ignore these.
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 using the Google Distance Matrix to determine the distance between the user and our centres.
This works fine, however the documentation states:
"Use of the Distance Matrix API must relate to the display of information on a Google Map; for example, to determine origin-destination pairs that fall within a specific driving time from one another, before requesting and displaying those destinations on a map. Use of the service in an application that doesn't display a Google map is prohibited."
But I am unsure how to "request and display the destinations on a map"
Is it possible to show the map in my application with the directions? If so where do I start? I have been looking but have been unsuccessful so must be searching for the wrong thing.

I found this cool feature in google map that allows to calculate distance between two points of interest. It doesn't simple calculate the linear distance petween points but allows to draw on the Map the route on the map. Have you ever used it? Do you know where i can find the API documentation?
Google's Maps API is publicly available. You might be looking for DistanceMatrix. You could then use Polyline to create the route, and DrawingManager to draw it.
