Get distance of each country in Google Maps (Angular)

Question

I use AgmCoreModule and AgmDirectionModule in my Angular project. I want to draw a route between points A, B, C which goes through different countries. I want to know how many kilometers of route are in each country separately. Is it possible? Or should you use some different library?

Answer 1

If you want to calculate the distance in a straight line (like a plane) but with the curvature of the earth/elevation considered, I think @turf/distance is a good option.

If you want to calculate through a path on a map (with streets and such, literally going from A to B), you'll have to use the google maps directions API: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/intro

AGM has a certain implementation which is third party and a bit fishy:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/agm-direction

I have used it successfully in the past.

Otherwise you can use google's official sdk:
