> Is there way to sort by driving distance instead of the crow distance and also display the driving distance. By driving distance I mean the distance between two points as shown in Google Maps, instead of distance between two points when a crow flies between them.

Apart from the approaches mentioned in the above post, what alternatives are there? Is it possible to write a plugin (distance will be calculated using google maps api) to implement this?
