copied!<p>If you are using .Net, why don't you just create a tiny MVC application that has a controller that exposes a method that returns some sort of formatted XML? That way you can run the whole thing locally.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p>You know, I think you can use Google Maps API without a key. I created a test project a couple of days ago. Here is a .Net code snippet (only included so that you can see how I am calling the service):</p> <pre><code>private static string GetString(Uri requestUri) { var output = string.Empty; var response = WebRequest.Create(requestUri).GetResponse(); var stream = response.GetResponseStream(); if (stream != null) { using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream)) { output = reader.ReadToEnd(); reader.Close(); } } response.Close(); return output; } </code></pre> <p>I pass in a uri with a url:</p> <pre><code>https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/xml?mode=walking&origin={0},{1}&destination={2},{3}&sensor=false </code></pre> <p>Where <code>{0},{1}</code> are the first lat/long, and <code>{2},{3}</code> are the second. I am not attaching a key to this and it worked for testing. My method returns a string that later I handle like so:</p> <pre><code>var response = XDocument.Parse(GetString(request)); </code></pre> <p>which gives me back xml. Again, I still recommend just creating your own web app and then deploying it somewhere publicly accessible (either in a LAN or on the web), but if you just need a web service to return XML you can use that.</p>
