<div>Hi<br>
<br>
</div>
If I can suggest a quick an easy way to get estimated time
travel.<br>
<br>
</div>
Get your x,y coordinates from point A to point B and plot it
on Google maps. Use the GET DIRECTIONS facility, this would
give you an estimated travel time and distance along with
several possible alternative routes.<br>

For a group of GI professionals, I am bitterly disappointed in these
types of answers. Has anyone heard of Djikstra's algorithm
(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijkstra%27s_algorithm" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijkstra%27s_algorithm</a>) or a* or
Shooting-Star distance algorithms?
(<a href="http://www.policyalmanac.org/games/aStarTutorial.htm" target="_blank">http://www.policyalmanac.org/games/aStarTutorial.htm</a>)<br>

From that, we can infer that distance * average speed = time right?<br>
