Question

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/xml?origins=PLACE,ZIPCODE&destinations=PLACE,ZIPCODE&sensor=false

I need to get distance between two places by place name and zip code. But when I pass parameters separated by "comma" it doesn't work. How to pass this two parameters?

Answer 1

使用+分隔地名和邮政编码：

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/xml?origins=NEW+YORK+11535&destinations=WASHINGTON+20544&sensor=false

Answer 2

it is also possible to give ONLY the zip code:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?units=imperial&origins=38017|85353&destinations=94109|33128|95117&key=YOUR_API_KEY
