T Tegwin Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 18, 2015 #1 Hello, I am very new to these suites of apps.. I love them . I am looking to develop an app that calulates the distance of 2 postal codes (UK) and gives the distance. I need this to be accurate street distance rather than striaght line. I need to develop this on both IOS And Andriod. Any ideas on where to start would be appreciated. I am very new to programming so may need some step by step guidance

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 18, 2015 #2 You are looking for a geolocation feature that converts an address to a map coordinate. Geolocation is available on both Android and iOS, though it probably doesn't support postal codes. You will need to find a web service (maybe Google Places) that calculates the route distance between two points. Upvote 0
