Calculate distance between two Geo location using Google Map API

Introduction

In order to run this proof of concept , we need google api  key,API_Key This can be obtain as per your personal google account credential. create project in developer console in google and generate api_key for you to create proof of concept to consume google api.

Key Implementation things to note

• Use new google.maps.DistanceMatrixService(); for recommended route.
• The below example can be useful to find distance for multiple source and destination location
• You can limit auto complete or restrict to specific countries.   destinationautocomplete.setComponentRestrictions({
•     'country': ['aus']
• Use new google.maps.DirectionsService() to calculate alternative routes with legs and steps directions
• Property setting optimizeWaypoints: true gives accurate distance remove complexity such as turns and other criteria
• Property setting provideRouteAlternatives: true, helps you find all route path options
• It used traveling salesman algorithm for optimal map routing with google maps.->optimizeWaypoints
