Get the Address by Geocode

You can obtain an address by entering the latitude and longitude coordinates.

Get Distance Matrix

You can calculate the distance between two locations by providing either the address names or the latitude and longitude coordinates. Additionally, you'll need to specify the mode of travel (Driving, Walking, Cycling). The response will include the distance and duration of travel.

Get Direction

To obtain steps from the origin to the destination, you need to input the latitude and longitude coordinates for both the origin and destination. This will provide you with the total distance as well as the steps involved in the journey. You can store the steps in a JSON variable for further use.

Get Directions By Address
