Google Distance Matrix API
Hello, has anyone have experience with implementing the Google Distance Matrix API into a Filament form?
I need to find a solution to calculate a distance between two addresses and I need to know the distance to every country border on the route.
Does anyone can help me with some coding solutions?

@Virgil Hi, did you figure it out?
Nope, still working on a solution... I'm even looking into the TomTom API, but still no solution found.
@Virgil for me I just had to show the static image map with Point A to B including the distance and duration so I used this endpoint "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=&destination=&key=" to get the distance, direction and the path, which I passed on to endpoint "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap" including the markers to get the image like this
the same thing we can do to embedded map as well using an iframe inside HtmlString
I need to calculate the distance to a border.. For instance... I drive from Amsterdam to Paris.. Then I want to know how many kilometers to the Belgium border and then how many kilometers from the Belgium border to the France border and finaly the kilometers to the destination.
I am not sure how this can be done, but I think this could be done with a radius from each point to find the nearest borders and then get the distance to that.
