How it works

The Matrix API returns the trip duration in seconds and the distance in meters to show the fastest route between the coordinates of the selected points.

The task

For example, let's say you need to find the distance and travel time between the following address points on the map:

1677 Easton Rd, Willow Grove, PA 19090, USA
119 S Easton Rd, Glenside, PA 19038, USA

API geocode

The API geocode returns these queries as point coordinates:

40.1349979,-75.1228148
40.1000254,-75.1540458

The result

The Distance Matrix API then returns distance and travel time data on the queries with point coordinates. The API response contains a distance matrix in JSON format.

For example, 310 meters and 2600 seconds
