Usage in calculations

  • The default return value of the Places question type is the number of feet or meters between two places.
  • You can change to the imperial system or the metric system in settings. Let's say you want to display the number of miles between two points. All you have to do is QX * 0.000189393939. It's also easy for kilometers: QX / 1000.
  • If you want to return the driving duration, you can do that too: QX{duration}. The return value is seconds, so if you charge 80 USD per hour, the formula would be: QX{duration} / 60 / 60 * 80.
