It should be pretty easy (distance in miles here, estimated duration
in minutes) obviously this code snippet doesn't work but the important
things are there.
var dirObj = new GDirections();
var loadStr = var loadStr = 'from: ' + from + ' to: ' + to;
dirObj.load(loadStr,{getPolyline:true,getSteps:true});
var distance = parseInt(dirObj.getDistance().meters / 1609);
var duration = parseFloat(dirObj.getDuration().seconds / 60).toFixed
(2);
Start with maybe Mike Williams' tutorial:

The code above came (originally) from (Marcelo's page):
