Every social networking site (it would seem) has the ability to tell you
how many miles/km you are from another person.
Is there a best practices approach to obtaining this information? Surely
each site doesn't maintain a table that maps relative distances between
each zip/postal code etc.
I'm hoping there's a REST web service or something along those lines?
I suppose closely related is the ability to map a zip/postal to a city.
How do you folks do it?
How many km is 90210 to M5T 2C2? (rhetorical)
