Using Distances and Directions
Retrieving distance and direction data with Postcode Anywhere is so simple we didn’t settle for just one method, we came up with two!
Spreadsheet tool
If you’re processing batches of data, or want quicker access to the service, our spreadsheet tool is just what you’re looking for (and you can download a copy here: Distances, Mileage Claim).
Just pop your key into the cell marked ‘Key:’, copy in your start and finish postcodes, and click ‘Start’. Simple!
Coding
If you’re looking for an integrated, dedicated solution, or if you just love coding, our sample code for our Distances and Directions methods can be found here.
Route Optimisation
