title: Google Maps direction request without traffic
body: <p>I have to write a program, that tells me the shortest way between two points. The traffic shouldn't be regarded.</p>
  
  <p>My Request is this.</p>
  
  <pre><code>'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin='.$from.'&amp;destination='.$to.'&amp;alternatives=true&amp;sensor=false'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I take the shortest route this way</p>
  
  <pre><code>$data = json_decode(file_get_contents($url))-&gt;routes;
  usort($data,create_function('$a,$b','return intval($a-&gt;legs[0]-&gt;distance-&gt;value) - intval($b-&gt;legs[0]-&gt;distance-&gt;value);'));
  return floatval($data[0]-&gt;legs[0]-&gt;distance-&gt;text);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this result depends to the actual traffic. 
  How can I send a request, that ignores the actual traffic?</p>
