Wonderful !! Shame on me, I should have been using a javascript debugger. Now the script works and can even tell whether the visitor was wrong about the origin address, the destination address or if the driving distance can not be calculated, you can try it. I'll post it asap for the community. However let's notice that my script couldn't distinguish origin or destination mistakes with multiple addresses. About your latest remark, I do have to display the returned origin/destination address to ask my customers to confirm them, but I'd rather avoid that as the form is quite heavy so far. Thank you very much for your help. Best regards.
