Can you tell me what Google API can calculate distance for my current location with many places in my database?
For example, if I have many hospitals on my the map, how can I know the nearest place compared with my current location?

I am not getting why every one is down voting the question. Its a new question if he wants onroad distance between all points. – Rahul Dasgupta Dec 18 '17 at 17:48

@RahulDasgupta It's being down voted because the question is off-topic and it shows no research effort. – rmaddy Dec 18 '17 at 17:49

@rmaddy k I understood there was no research effort, but what is off-topic. Please elaborate – Rahul Dasgupta Dec 18 '17 at 17:51

@RahulDasgupta One of the off-topic close reasons: *"Questions asking us to recommend or find a book, tool, software library, tutorial or other off-site resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it."* – rmaddy Dec 18 '17 at 17:53

If you want to get straight line distance then you can get it from
loc1.distance(from: loc2)
But if you want to get on road distance then you can get it from google API.
Reference:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distance-matrix/intro
Here key is API Key that you have to generate, and origins is your origin latitude and longitude and destinations is series of destination.
You can easily click above api to see the results.
