texpride12 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I need a script that will return distances from address to address. Does anyone know the best way to obtain the coordinates I am needing!! I have heard of things like geocoder and a few others but I didn't know if there was one in particular that was more popular of more up to date. I would like my script to request coordinates as needed and then load them into my db. I can then hopefully get a script that will do the calculations. Has anyone used Vincety's law versus Haversine with success. I need acuracy, as in driving directions,very similar to what mapquest does. Any thoughts or ideas would be great.. Thanks so much.

GingerRobot Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Well, what is it you are actually trying to do? You may be better off not re-inventing the wheel, and using an existing site's API. I see mapquest offers one, and im pretty sure google maps do too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
