:bullseye: What is your goal?

I want to know if Make has an ability to automate mileage calculation.

:thinking: What is the problem?

Can Make be used to automatically calculate mileage based on a “From” and “To” address entered by staff? Specifically, is it possible to integrate Make with Google Maps (or another mapping service) so that once a staff member enters a starting address and a destination address, the automation calculates the total mileage and returns or stores that value automatically?

:test_tube: What have you tried so far?

None… Im just a newbie and I need help … TIA

Hey there,

I suppose you could use the Get Directions Maps module to find a possible route between the two addresses and get the distance from there. Doesn’t mean they necessarily took that road though.
