You can use the API Connector to do this via Google Maps ? > **[Developer Guide  |  Distance Matrix API  |  Google...](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distance-matrix/intro)** > > Calculate travel distance and time between a number of points using the Google Maps API.

Yes I was looking at this earlier looks a little overwhelming at the moment.🤔 ---

Yeah, google APIs are not very friendly. And nor is the Developer Console. Will have a look to see how possible it is. ---

OK, so you need to go an get yourself a Google Maps API Key. Have a search on here, I think several have posted the steps to go via the Google Developers Console. Then all you need to do is use the API [https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json](https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json) Input your origins and destinations. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/3/3/338be7c4a6342ebc4b80277516d473ace2e7b36c.png) Slight wrinkle in that it returns multiple “rows” so you might need to pull out the first one with “firstitem”. { “destination\_addresses”: [ “Hove, UK” ], “origin\_addresses”: [ “Brockham, UK” ], “rows”: [ { “elements”: [ { “distance”: { “text”: “53.7 km”, “value”: 53708 }, “duration”: { “text”: “54 mins”, “value”: 3266 }, “status”: “OK” } ] } ], “status”: “OK” } ---

Thank you Nigel I will investigate this.👍 ---

Hi @NigelG. I installed the Google Map extended plugin. But I don’t know how to use it. I have input origin and input destination on my page. but I wasn’t sure how to display the driving distance in other input field. Below is what I have so far. On first screen I have entered origin and destination based on input fields. ![googlemapextended](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/f/b/fb95208c26bd4559bc4eccaf211c781bb61c9a15.jpeg) Below screen is the property of the third input which should show the distance, but I am confused what to enter in the “initial content”, it is asking either destination or origin address. But I have defined it under the “distance and duration” property. ![googlemapextended2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/5/c/5c4d3b01220943cbc36dce7e4e8ec0a03236d73d.jpeg) Any example how to use this plugin. I am trying to calculate driving distance. ---

Hi there, Not a plugin I have used I am afraid. Are you still having difficulty ? ---

Sorry, I thought you were using that plugin. But yeah, I haven’t figured out how to do it yet. Which plugin are you using? ---

No, not that one. I have done mileage, but built my own Google API call in the API connector. To do it with the plugin … ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/e/0/e0129d372834848a3067eab5506d7442fbba795d.png) You get the same thing with the Google API, it gives you multiple rows back. But you could use firstitem I guess. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/c/8/c899b241eb123b0b32fbbce1008bb2971bc3b60b.png) ---
