Q: 

Obtain distances to nearest landmarks (Mall, Hospital, and Airport etc.) using google map

I am working on a project in which I have around 100000 addreses in major cities in India(it is a table in a database). I want to know if it is possible to obtain the distances to to nearest landmarks (Mall, Hospital, and Airport etc.). Ideally I want these distances to be mergeed to the parent table. We have Java and Php coders to get it done once we find out how to go about it. Any pointers will be of great help. Thank you.

Thank you for your response. I needed an API that interacted with Google map app to get these distances. However, the code is of interest in itself. Thus +1 for that.
