Using the distance calculator on my website

[farhataziz]

Hello,

Is there a way i can add the city distance calculator tool between cities on a website that we have developed.
Our client wants to calculate distance between different cities on its website, is there any html/java script tag provided so that we can add it to our pages and see.

Also, the site is developed using html and JSPs, would it be possible to integrate the City Distance tool in the pages? Is the service free or do we need to buy the license?

I have seen the site's page on City Distance tool (http://www.geoselect.com/CityDistanceTool.htm), but was unable to find any information about its implementation.

Any help or pointers would be immensely appreciated.


Thanks,
Farhat

Yes, you may have already seen it, but this post provides pretty much all that you need.

Unforunetly, we currently do not offer the City Distance Tool as a web service, but it is a good idea, and I will look in to it further and see if it is something that we could provide. (I know that we already do have some HTTP accessible APIs, but I am not sure if they are publically accessible - I will look in to it next week, when I am back in the office - I am currently in San Diego.)

If you implement it yourself - server side as described in the post that I referred to above, then it is only a one time $10 license fee, and you can update the data from our site as often as you like. Please let me know if you need help implementing it, and I will post the details of a RAC (rent-a-coder) that we use for this kind of work.

In any case, please let me know if I can assist further.
