Here's the service I thought of using: <a href="http://zipcodedistanceapi.redline13.com/" rel="nofollow">http://zipcodedistanceapi.redline13.com/</a></p> <p>The existing form doesn't have this functionality, but this is the company: <a href="http://gstrucks.com/rate-quote-request/" rel="nofollow">http://gstrucks.com/rate-quote-request/</a></p> <p>Was thinking of probably splitting the whole thing into two forms; the first would collect basic information and allow us to collect user info, and then the second would display the quote (passed via GET, I'd think) and allow the user to accept it.</p> <p>If you have a way to help me through the ZIP code portion of this, I'd be happy to write the whole thing up for future reference (I found a few related questions on here). </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/auto-generating-milage-cost-based-on-zip-cde#post-121906 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:22:53 +0000 Chris Hajer 121906@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If you can determine how to get the information regarding the distance between two zip codes, we can probably help you with the rest. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/auto-generating-milage-cost-based-on-zip-cde#post-121664 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 13:43:49 +0000 wiljax 121664@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you. This is helpful. i honestly have no idea where to start, so I'll dig in at the link you suggested. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/auto-generating-milage-cost-based-on-zip-cde#post-120888 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 13:50:49 +0000 Chris Hajer 120888@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Please do a little more research on how you are going to calculate the difference between the two zip codes. Once you have that information, we can help you with the Gravity Forms portion of it. We don't have enough information yet to be able to help you.</p> <p>Here is one web page which will provide the information.<br /> <a href="http://www.zip-codes.com/distance_calculator.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.zip-codes.com/distance_calculator.asp</a></p> <p>You will need something like that, but it will need to be a service you can query or a database you can lookup the values in. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/auto-generating-milage-cost-based-on-zip-cde#post-120605 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 01:06:28 +0000 wiljax 120605@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have no idea how to even get started on this.

What sort of database or service are you using to determine the distance between zip codes? You will need to lookup the distance between the zip code entered and your zip code, then perform a calculation and figure the charge based on that mileage. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/auto-generating-milage-cost-based-on-zip-cde#post-120493 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 19:54:23 +0000 wiljax 120493@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'd like to be able to calculate milage costs by having a zip code or address field in my form. I have two basic areas (New Orleans and Northwest Mississippi) where I would not like to charge a travel rate, but then all other travel I would want to generate a charge based on how far away the location is from my Mississippi address. Is this possible? </p>
