When a user set >= 2 points, send him the distance between the start point and the last point.

There are several ways to do this :
- simply calculate the distance as the crow flies between the two locs, which is quite easy
- take only the first and last points and calculate the true (on-the-road) distance between these two
- include all the in-between locs in the true distance calculations, which is already done by Maps.
I vote for the second one, which can be done by generating another URL using only the two locs and scraping the distance calculated by Google.
