How to get total driving distance with Google Maps API V3?

Question

I used to be able to get it like this:

directionsService.route(directionsRequest, function(directionsResult, directionsStatus) {
    var directionsRenderer =         


        

Answer 1

Take a look here:

The Directions Results Object

It looks like you now have to sum up each leg distance.

legs[] contains an array of DirectionsLeg objects, each of which contains information about a leg of the route, from two locations within the given route. A separate leg will be present for each waypoint or destination specified. (A route with no waypoints will contain exactly one DirectionsLeg.) Each leg consists of a series of DirectionSteps.
