How to create a new custom option programmatically before add to cart

Question

I have created an Observer for checkout_cart_product_add_before event. I am able to retrieve 2 options called locationTo and locationFrom. I then calculate the distance from each location by geocoding the two addresses and using the Vincenty Great Circle Distance algorithm.

I want to show this value on the cart page, how would i go about displaying this value on the cart page?

Is there a way i could create a custom option and set the distance value within the observer and add it to the quote item and then it would be displayed on the cart page, or am i thinking about it wrong? how would i go about doing this.

My Requirement is same as yours. did you got any solution @molleman — UnderGround, Nov 21 '13 at 08:59

You could use the 'additional_options' field to store your custom option

See Magento - Quote/order product item attribute based on user input
