Google Maps API: Get travel duration in minutes using JavaScript

Abhisek says:

 //*********DISTANCE AND DURATION**********************//

    var service = new google.maps.DistanceMatrixService();

    service.getDistanceMatrix({

        origins: [source],

        destinations: [destination],

        travelMode: google.maps.TravelMode.DRIVING,

        unitSystem: google.maps.UnitSystem.METRIC,

        avoidHighways: false,

        avoidTolls: false

    }, function (response, status) {

        if (status == google.maps.DistanceMatrixStatus.OK && response.rows[0].elements[0].status != "ZERO_RESULTS") {

            var distance = response.rows[0].elements[0].distance.text;

            var duration = response.rows[0].elements[0].duration.text;

            var dvDistance = document.getElementById("dvDistance");

           dvDistance.innerHTML = "";

            dvDistance.innerHTML += "Distance: " + distance + "<br />";

            dvDistance.innerHTML += "Duration:" + duration;

 

        } else {

            alert("Unable to find the distance via road.");

        }

    });

Replace the above with the below code.

//*********DISTANCE AND DURATION**********************//
var service = new google.maps.DistanceMatrixService();
service.getDistanceMatrix({
    origins: [source],
    destinations: [destination],
    travelMode: google.maps.TravelMode.DRIVING,
    unitSystem: google.maps.UnitSystem.METRIC,
    avoidHighways: false,
    avoidTolls: false
}, function (response, status) {
    if (status == google.maps.DistanceMatrixStatus.OK && response.rows[0].elements[0].status != "ZERO_RESULTS") {
        var distance = response.rows[0].elements[0].distance.text;
        var duration = response.rows[0].elements[0].duration.text;
        if (duration.indexOf('day') != -1) {
            var days = duration.split('day')[0].trim();
            var hours = duration.split('day')[1].trim().split(' ')[0].trim();
            duration = (parseInt(days) * 60 * 24) + (parseInt(hours) * 60) + " mins";
        }
        else if (duration.indexOf('hours') != -1) {
            var hours = duration.split('hours')[0].trim();
            var minutes = duration.split('hours')[1].trim().split(' ')[0].trim();
            duration = (parseInt(hours) * 60) + parseInt(minutes) + " mins";
        }
        else if (duration.indexOf('hour') != -1) {
            var hour = duration.split('hour')[0].trim();
            var minutes = duration.split('hour')[1].trim().split(' ')[0].trim();
            duration = (parseInt(hour) * 60) + parseInt(minutes) + " mins";
        }
        else {
            duration = response.rows[0].elements[0].duration.text.trim();
        }
        var dvDistance = document.getElementById("dvDistance");
        dvDistance.innerHTML = "";
        dvDistance.innerHTML += "Distance: " + distance + "<br />";
        dvDistance.innerHTML += "Duration:" + duration;

    } else {
        alert("Unable to find the distance via road.");
    }
});
