What happens when a web developer has to drive to meetings and then needs to calculate the mileage for tax purposes? You win. Ade Olonoh has created a milage calculator that uses Google Maps and Google Calendar to make mileage calculations easy and quick. Ade says:

    It’s pretty simple to use: you can enter any number of start/destination addresses and calculate mileage based on Google’s driving directions service. And if you have meetings scheduled in Google Calendar, you can enter your XML URL to pull events to calculate mileage based on the locations you’ve entered for those events.
