Question: Driving Distance #1

Is there an easy way to calculate bulk driving distances? E.G. find the nearest 10,000 locations from this central point via driving distance (not as the crow flys but as the car drives)

Excellent question! I don't know of any services that offer this just yet. We've been looking at adding it to our "nearby places" query but it isn't currently available through our API.

I know you can use a Google API but I have never tested querying 10,000 at once, well let me know if something comes up on your radar that is not using the Google API. Cool service btw. Good luck
