I am successfully calling GDirections to get a map with directions between a point A and point B that I have specified. However, I can't seem to get certain return values.
calculateDistanceFromRoute.js:
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
function initialize() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
map.setUIToDefault();
var route = new GDirections(map);
route.load("from: 500 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA to: 4 Yawkey Way, Boston, MA 02215 (Fenway Park)");
var distance = route.getDistance();
$("#dist").text(distance['html']);
$("#moar").text(route.getStatus().code);
$("#moar").append(route.getSummaryHtml());
}
}

The only route call that works is route.load(). Everything else fails.
