Just me or is accuracy of distance field a bit out? Glide ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/5/5fc763703f9befd235932d50fabd495926c31e70.jpeg) Link to google maps (same address) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/c/ce7883acf8556084dbd318df447e09719e4d3913.jpeg) ---

Thanks, whether driving or walking distance is still the same? ---

Yes because google maps is streets and sidewalks…Glide is “as the crow flies” ---

Just as a joke: The first time I saw the statement “as the crow flies” days ago, I read it wrong and I understood _as the COW flies_ and suddenly I thought… “wtf? How can a cow fly?? “ 🤣 Saludos ---

In my case, the crow is clueless. The distance calculation is very bad, totally wrong. ---

I would really need this feature, but it works. ---

I would like to get this feature: - calculate [driving distance](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Gas+City,+Indiana,+USA/Richmond,+Indiana+47374,+USA/@40.1510502,-85.5509048,10z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x8814fe18ca15490b:0xd843def0a1987200!2m2!1d-85.6130311!2d40.4872625!1m5!1m1!1s0x883ff88c0dc58135:0xb591e05c2e82d34!2m2!1d-84.8902382!2d39.8289369!3e0) in Glide. Without driving distance, my clients app will fail ☹ ---

I’d imagine you could do a Google maps API call to get the distance between two sets of coordinates or addresses. ---

@Max_Makhrov You can do this using the Javascript column and the google map API. [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/9/5969515440599e9ac88480ed865db90b0bcdd899.jpeg "Driving distance precision in Glide") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0tMojUjxLM)
