    Fetching Driving Distances through API(s)/Mapquest/Google

    So it appears, as discussed in this thread ( http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...rive-time.html ) that it violates TOS agreements for API services (I know that Google and Mapquest both have one -- Mapquest has similar restrictions to Google) that:
    1. Apparently you can no longer PARSE web results for driving times from either Google or Mapquest since they switched over to getting people to use API
    2. Using the API in a fashion as to display information (like driving distances) from A to B in an Excel cell violates the TOS

    I'm going to go out on a limb and assume there is *no other way* to calculate driving times & distances without violating any of the two "facts" listed above?
