Distance Between

The zoho.map.distanceBetween task returns the flight distance between the specified source and destination addresses.

Note:

Zoho Maps use open-source address data. Hence, accuracy might not be on par with commercial vendors.
This task cannot be used in AU domain as Zoho Maps is not available for AU users.

<response> = zoho.map.distanceBetween(<source_address>, <destination_address, <unit>);

where:

Params	Data type	Description
<response>	NUMBER	The distance between the specified source and destination addresses.
<source_address>	TEXT	The source address from which the flight distance needs to be calculated.
<destination_address>	TEXT	The destination address until which the flight distance needs to be calculated.
<unit>	TEXT	The unit in which the distance needs to be returned. MILE KILOMETRE NAUTICAL Note: This is an optional parameter in Zoho Creator. If the <unit> parameter is not specified, the distance is returned in miles by default.

The following script returns the flight distance (in miles) between the specified source and destination addresses:

response = zoho.map.distanceBetween("Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India", "Austin, Texas, US", "MILE");

where:
