[OSGeo Africa] Travel Time Calculation

[S Coetzer]

Hi

If I can suggest a quick an easy way to get estimated time travel.

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.

Regards
Sarel
