Hi Colin,
I have a need to calculate driving distances between two points (not in iOS but OSX) and didn't know about the Google maps API, I hope you get it working. How did you get the initial latitude and longitude of the start and end points? Is that available through Google maps API as well?

I am working on an application for tracking mileage.
In my app  I determine the longitude and latitude of a site and then
calclulate the driving distance between them using the GoogleMaps API.

A snippet of the code is like this, with a populated pOrigin and
pDestination
This works 100% of the time in the IDE, but only occasionally when I
simulate the operation
If I replace the first two lines of code with
  Put fld OriginLat & comma & fld OriginLong into pOrigin
Put fld DestinationLat & comma & fld DestinationLong into pDestination

it Never works in the simulator, but 100% of the time in the IDE.
Any ideas?  I am at a road block now

  Put "49.3447,-123.08076" into pOrigin
  Put "49.881421,-119.44365" into pDestination
  Put "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/xml?origin="; &
pOrigin & "&destination=" & pDestination & "&sensor=false" into tUrl
  PUT URL(tUrl) into tReply
  Put tReply
