But my request is different.
I need only get distance from two point (address, town, country)..

There is a way to read xml or JSON from nav .. I think..

Someone can help me?

Yes there is a way, a webservice could be helpfull because it can have an xml as response.
But I think your use of the google api is not wanted by google:

Google wrote:

Note: the Directions API may only be used in conjunction with displaying results on a Google map; using Directions data without displaying a map for which directions data was requested is prohibited. Additionally, calculation of directions generates copyrights and warnings which must be displayed to the user in some fashion. For complete details on allowed usage, consult the Maps API Terms of Service License Restrictions.

Why you think so.
If you read my link in previuous post you can read that google return JSON webservice or xml file.
Limit si number request only..

But how I can get xml returned from google?
How I can consume JSON webservice?

I am also curious how to consume Json in NAV.
I think you must use Json Serializer, please let me know if this works
