Hi, I’m sure there must be a clever way to enable automatic distance calculation based on the coordinates in the map? My use case is the following: my app has a list of hotels. Currently in France people can only travel 100Km from their home so ideally I’d like the users to be able to enter their home address on an hotel individual card and being told how many km from their home the hotel is based on the coordinates that I have recorded for the hotel.  
Any idea how to do this? Thanks in advance

Send me a personal message, I might be able to set it up for you based on the methods I have in this post.

> Hi Gliders, Inspired by this posts regarding how some businesses can’t offer a delivery outside their 5km radius. I developed a solution to calculate distance between customer’s input address and the business’ fixed address. The use of postcode was proposed in some threads, but I don’t think it would have the same effect as taking the exact distance via Google.
