''' Commercial '''
* [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distance-matrix/overview 'Google Maps Platform ->  Web Services -> ''''Distance Matrix API'''' at developers.google.com]
''' Non-commercial '''
So if you know of any open content sources to get road/railroad/ship/airtravel distances between places it would be most welcome.
