rails geokit - 獲取旅行/通勤時間

Question

有沒有辦法在軌道中使用geokit來獲得兩個地點之間的估計行程時間？ 現在，我只是顯示距離，但我認為一個更好的方法是顯示'15分鍾的距離' - 給它一個更實用的距離方法（有時2英里是10分鍾，有時是3）

更好的解決方案是使用API使用Google Maps Directions API就像調用以下網址一樣簡單http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=Chicago,IL&destination=Los+Angeles,CA&waypoints=Joplin,MO|Oklahoma+City,OK&sensor=false 。 哪個返回此JSON：

然后解析返回的JSON以獲取duration.text並將其顯示在頁面上。 您可能必須遵守服務條款才能使用此API，因此請務必閱讀googles要求以及它們如何影響服務的使用。
