We are thrilled to announce the release of [**Woosmap Distance API**](https://developers.woosmap.com/products/distance-api/get-started/) , a service providing road travel distance and duration calculations, on a **Worldwide scale** 🌎.

Fully integrated to the Woosmap platform, it can be combined with other APIs to build advanced location based scenarios (e.g. search for closest stores or services, ressources / tasks affectation, …).

- **language** : results could be returned for different languages such as 🇫🇷 🇪🇸 🇩🇪 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇮🇹

## 🧭 What’s next?

As for all our other APIs, the Woosmap Distance API is a fully hosted service with first class SLA.
