In this post, I demonstrate how to get the Map Time and Distance between locations using Google Apps Script using the Map Class.
How to Video:
Video Notes:
- Legacy Apps Script Editor Used in Video
- Apps Script (Script Editor) is now located under tab ‘Extensions’ instead of ‘Tools’ on Google Sheets
Code in Video:
function getDirection() {
// DECLARE SHEET
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var mapSheet = ss.getSheetByName("MAP");
var start = mapSheet.getRange('B1').getValue();
var end = mapSheet.getRange('B2').getValue();
var directions = Maps.newDirectionFinder()
.setOrigin(start)
.setDestination(end)
.setMode(Maps.DirectionFinder.Mode.DRIVING)
.getDirections();
//Logger.log(directions.routes[0].legs[0].duration.text);
//CLEAR QUESTION AND ANSWER
mapSheet.getRange('A6:D500').clear();
//NEXT ROW ON MAP SHEET
var nextRow = mapSheet.getLastRow() + 1;
for (var i = 0; i < directions.routes[0].legs.length; i++)
{
var endAddress = directions.routes[0].legs[i].end_address;
var startAddress = directions.routes[0].legs[i].start_address;
var distance = directions.routes[0].legs[i].distance.text;
var duration = directions.routes[0].legs[i].duration.text;
mapSheet.getRange(nextRow,1).setValue(startAddress);
mapSheet.getRange(nextRow,2).setValue(endAddress);
mapSheet.getRange(nextRow,3).setValue(distance);
mapSheet.getRange(nextRow,4).setValue(duration);
nextRow++;
}
}
