通过PHP使用Google地图进行路线和地址验证？

This project is fairly simple yet, complicated.

• 50+ addresses are present
• User will input or import addresses
• Script must take addresses and provide non-optimized(or optimized [fastest/shortest]) direction between each address
• Script must be able to map directions on map and provide information such as total distance, proximate time.
• On side note script must validate address if it's valid or not. If not then tell user to fix it.

So far the company was using a desktop application for tracking, routing, directions, etc.

Now they want a web version.

I was thinking about using microsoft's bing service or google's maps.

Which do you think would suit better?

For address validation you could use Google's Geocoding API. It's not a perfect solution as it allows for addresses that might be partially wrong. An example is a user typing in 3002 Such and Such Street when 3002 doesn't actually exist.

Also, if the link doesn't have to be internal then you can provide a link to Google maps with the format http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=[STARTING ADDRESS]&daddr=[DESTINATION ADDRESS]

I'd imagine there is also a way to handle directions with the Maps API but I'm not sure.
