Google Maps - Route Distance Calulation

[Game_Master]

How would I go about getting the total distance of a route constructed with this URL?

https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=London&daddr=Glasgow

When this URL is clicked, Google Maps returns a distance of 402 miles. How would I get this figure automatically, without the user having to type it in?

Thanks!

Not really sure what this has to do with MMF...

...in MMF2 Developer.

I think there is no sure-fire way approach to this but I'll take a haphazard guess...Have you tried using the Web Browser Control object? You could input the correct url to proceed to then GET the results from the page returned? Once the page is returned and loaded you could search for "miles" and then retrieve the first 4-5 characters before it also, then display that in a string?Just a thought.

Thanks - I used the get object, and found that the distance comes in <span> tags like this:
<span>XXX km</span>

Bearing in mind that the XXX can change, how would I get just the XXX km from the received content of the Get Object? It would need to work on iOS. Thanks!

Also, how would I round a number to two decimal places without using the Double Precision Calculator?

Any ideas how I'd do this? Thanks!
