I am trying to create a mileage calculator for an app, and I found the code online.
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var directionDisplay;
var map;
function initialize() {
directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer();
var copenhagen = new google.maps.LatLng(55.6771, 12.5704);
var myOptions = {
zoom:12,
`enter code here` mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
center: copenhagen
}
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
directionsDisplay.setMap(map);
}
var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();
function calcRoute() {
var start = document.getElementById("start").value;
var end = document.getElementById("end").value;
var distanceInput = document.getElementById("distance");
var request = {
origin:start,
destination:end,
travelMode: google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING
};
directionsService.route(request, function(response, status) {
if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
directionsDisplay.setDirections(response);
distanceInput.value = response.routes[0].legs[0].distance.value / 1000;
}
});
}
</script>

I want there to be a click to email link on the link on the page which opens up users email (such as Windows Live Mail on a PC or the Yahoo Mail app on a tablet) and says in the body of the email "Your mileage is ???". I can do this, but I want the mileage to be inputted automatically. I have added in this code in the html section of the script...
<p><a href="mailto:youremail.yahoo.com?subject=Mileage
&body=calcRoute('string', 'distance')">Click to send email</a></p>
...and it opens the email but doesn't show the calculated mileage. Instead in the body it shows calcRoute('string, distance'). How do I get it to show the mileage?
I understand this question is long but I would appreciate it if you could take the time to answer. It is very important that I get an answer that works as soon as possible. Thank you.
