Finding the closest Melbourne CBD train station with GDirections

This application came from my dependence on public transport and possible need to move houses; I wanted to know how close I would be in relation to train stations. There are quite a number of stations in Melbourne, and I don’t have the time to map all of their coordinates, so at the time being it only has train stations from the City Loop.

The application uses GDirections. It lets us load way points and retrieve the route details; such as distance, driving directions, and even an HTML summary of the travel.

I used GDirections in two instances of the application:
1. To determine the distance between my pivot position and the train stations.
2. To plot the route of my pivot point to the closest train station
