No, that will give you distance as-the-crow-flies strait (great circle)
lines. If you want distance as a function of driving directions, you're
going the right route. (pun intended, now that I've written it)

Hi Colin,
I have a need to calculate driving distances between two points (not
in iOS but OSX) and didn't know about the Google maps API, I hope you
get it working. How did you get the initial latitude and longitude of
the start and end points? Is that available through Google maps API

Are you using your Google Maps API key? The query will work in a browser, or I
guess from the message box, but I think that for it to be from an application
you would need to be using the key that you were given in some way.
