Hi, I'm looking for a method to obtain the distance and duration travel between two point. Starting from two addresses, I need to geocode them in order to get the latitude and longitude of both addresses and then calculate the distance (in km) and the duration ( in minutes) after defining the start and end point. There is a way to get this kind of information in C#?? Thanks Fabio asked 07 Apr '15, 10:14  Fabio edited 11 Apr '15, 01:24  aseerel4c26 ♦ |
2 Answers:
you mean a shortest? / fastest? route based on routing, don't you? See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Routing#Developers – libs and webservice APIs are available. If you use somebody's routing webservice you – of course – need to negotiate terms for your "large number of addresses" unless it is allowed by the service's usage policy. answered 08 Apr '15, 13:58 aseerel4c26 ♦ edited 08 Apr '15, 14:07 |
... and about geocoding of addresses, see Search_engines answered 08 Apr '15, 21:38  stephan75 Note: I guess the routing webservices would do the geocoding for the user. (08 Apr '15, 23:45) aseerel4c26 ♦ |
Do you want to do this offline/locally or is accessing an online API an option?
It doesn't matter, but I need to repeat this process for a large number of addresses. @AddisMap_Ale...
