Journey Summary Times

On clicking the 'Show Distances' button the journey will be analysed in accordance with the EU driving Directive. A table shows the journey, broken down into components comprising statutory maximum drive times, break periods and rest periods, leading to the total elapsed time for the journey. The software does not take into account any over-arching conditions, for example the maximum permitted driving hours per week, as this would require assumptions of the driver's responsibilies other than the journey in question.

An excellent and readable book. Gabriel shows how to build mapping applications with the latest version of Google Maps API, with a tutorial on Javascript thrown in for good measure.
