"HowFar" script...

[jaydub]

I am looking for a script for a "HowFar" type of site. In otherwords someone types in a city for their location and then another for destination and it tells them how far it is.

Looking for a script that would work for Canada and US

Driving miles as well as air miles would be nice but not mandatory..

Free or paid Just make sure you have selling rights if you are trying to sell me one..

I am very technically challenged so the easier the better..
(I would probably pay you to install it as well.)


(Multi Forum post)
Thanks for any help...and Happy New Year to all

Well I found a formula that can work this out, although as i'm not from the US I really don't know any places, so unfortunatly I cannot help much more than this post.

The formula is on this website:
http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html

As you can see they have kindly gone to the trouble of writing the Javascript code for you. Which could be easily adapted to use results from a database. Although this would take a lot of work, as the latitude and longitude of every city in America and Canada would need to be enterered into this database. Considering the size of the area you are talking about, I automatically presume this to be a VERY large job.

Cheers,
Rob.

Thank you both for the links but as I said I am very technically challeged. I am looking for something a little more Plug and Play.
