title: extracting distance between two points from google directions
body: <p>We have dynamic pages, and user has fixed postocode.</p>
  
  <p>As they go from page to page visiting members profiles, that member has a different postcode perhaps.. probably lol</p>
  
  <p>So if I have the data suburb and postcode of both users, is there a way I can extract the driving directions distance from google maps driving directions ...</p>
  
  <p>Or is there a better way , I recall someone ages ago on here mentioning closeto or nearby etc.</p>
  
  <p>We have absolute full Australian postcode db with lat and lng and suburb name .. just wondering how we could use it to get this extra data.</p>
