How to query Routing distance between 2 given locations

[Achmatov]

Hi,
I am looking for a url to get the distance between Hamburg and Aalen from Germany.

Multiple REST urls possible, too.

Hi places API is for places, routing API would be included in the Maps API for javascript. For information on Maps API offerings, you could see: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Develop/Maps/

Basically we do not have publicly available any API for getting routes through HTTP calls, thus you would actually need to use the API implementing the service, this case I suppose it is the JavaScript based API which you could use.

Then using the route out from the API context (i.e. if you do not use the provided map API for showing the route), you should read the terms & conditions carefully, they often do restrict the usage of the service's provided.

Of course once you show it in a map, there should generally be no problems on additionally showing the legs in listview, in order to help user to go through the route information.

thank you.
How can I use javascript to show the route advices in a listview? can i have a tutorial or some code to do that?

You could check the API documentation, as well as check wiki & playground for examples. There should be a simple routing example, but I would assume there would not be exactly what you are asking for, anyway, check the routing, and once you get results from the query, you could loop them and use them in your list as needed
