Hello All,
the built-in distance column seems to return a distance as the “as the crow flies”.
I want to show customers the driving distance to shops nearby in an inline list , hence this distance value is not very helpful.
Has any one an idea how to solve this.
Thanks.

You have to get destination geolocation, and in distance column use it together with current location and use km as a units

I’m doing this, but the result still doesn’t give the road km but the length of a line from point to point.

Yes, for actual driving distance, you have to use Google services and scripts
