ruby-on-rails - rails geokit - 获取旅行/通勤时间

Question

有没有办法在 rails 中使用 geokit 来获取两个位置之间的估计旅行时间？现在，我只是显示距离，但我认为更好的方法是显示“15 分钟路程”——给它一个更实用的距离方法(有时 2 英里是 10 分钟，有时是 3 分钟)

Answer 1

更好的解决方案是使用 Google Maps Directions API使用 API 就像调用以下 URL http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=Chicago,IL&destination=Los+Angeles,CA&waypoints=Joplin,MO|Oklahoma+ 一样简单城市，OK&sensor=false。 返回此 JSON:

然后解析返回的 JSON 以获取 duration.text 并将其显示在您的页面上。 您可能必须遵守服务条款才能使用此 API，因此请务必阅读 Google 的要求以及它们如何影响服务的使用。
