LINKS TO GOOGLE API'S https://developers.google.com/maps/get-started/

Maps API Return multi-part directions for a series of waypoints. Directions for several modes of transportation are available. Google Maps Distance Matrix API Retrieve duration and distance values based on the recommended route between start and end points. The Google Maps Elevation API The Google Maps Elevation API provides elevation data for all locations on the surface of the earth, including depth locations on the ocean floor (which return negative values). In those cases where Google does not possess exact elevation measurements at the precise location you request, the service will interpolate and return an averaged value using the four nearest locations. With the Google Maps Elevation API, you can develop hiking and biking applications, mobile positioning applications, or low resolution surveying applications. You access the Google Maps Elevation API through an HTTP interface. Users of the Google Maps JavaScript API may also access this API directly by using the ElevationService() object. (See Elevation Service for more information.) The Google Maps Geocoding API Geocoding is the process of converting addresses (like "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA") into geographic coordinates (like latitude 37.423021 and longitude -122.083739), which you can use to place markers on a map, or position the map. Reverse geocoding is the process of converting geographic coordinates into a human-readable address. The Google Maps Geocoding API's reverse geocoding service also lets you find the address for a given place ID. The Google Maps Geocoding API provides a direct way to access these services via an HTTP request. The Google Maps Geolocation API The Google Maps Geolocation API returns a location and accuracy radius based on information about cell towers and WiFi nodes that the mobile client can detect. This document describes the protocol used to send this data to the server and to return a response to the client. Communication is done over HTTPS using POST. Both request and response are formatted as JSON, and the content type of both is application/json The Google Maps Roads API The Google Maps Roads API identifies the roads a vehicle was traveling along and provides additional metadata about those roads, such as speed limits. The Google Maps Time Zone API The Google Maps Time Zone API provides time offset data for locations on the surface of the earth. Requesting the time zone information for a specific Latitude/Longitude pair will return the name of that time zone, the time offset from UTC, and the Daylight Savings offset. You access the Google Maps Time Zone API through an HTTPS interface. Google Places API Web Service Get data from the same database used by Google Maps and Google+ Local. Places features more than 100 million businesses and points of interest that are updated frequently through owner-verified listings and user-moderated contributions. Google Street View Image API Specify latitude and longitude or a panorama ID to pick your location and determine the direction of the scene and angle of the camera.
