Hi, this could be realized with an http call and the google maps API.

I was wondering how to do this. I used importFile().

let myID := this;
importFile(myID, "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=" + latitude(Location) + "," + longitude(Location) + "&zoom=13&size=600x300&maptype=roadmap
&key=YOUR_API_KEY", "my.png");
Image := file(myID, "my.png")

I updated my code so it is one line. It isn't really automatic, it won't work in a trigger.

Image := importFile(this, "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=" + latitude(Location) + "," + longitude(Location) +"&markers=color:red%7Clabel:X%7C"+latitude(Location) +","+longitude(Location)+ "&zoom=17&size=400x300&maptype=roadmap
&key=YOUR_API_KEY", "map.png");

I have been desperately seeking a way to import the distance information between to points on a google map using location fields as the current location and the other as the destination.  I am working a project for a friend that works for a food delivery service that wants something quick and easy to record mileage for each trip.

should be able to do it with the google distance matrix. I can take a stab at it later, as I think I can also use the code for a delivery service app I am working on.

I was able to do it with button code.

let response := http("GET", "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?units=imperial&origins=" + latitude(Location1) + "," + longitude(Location1) + "&destinations=" + latitude(Location2) + "," + longitude(Location2) + "&key=YourAPIkey");
if response.error then
alert(text(response.error))
else
distance := text(response.result.rows.'0'.elements.'0'.distance.text)
end

Hi can you explian what to replace in order to make it work 

like API key?? 

Hi, have a look here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key

It seems like you'll gona need a payed subscription in order to get an api key.

Steven.

The account is free, so is the API key. 

I use it for development and have never had to pay anything. 

But you do need a billing account.
