Mileage Shipment Plugin

We have been using GJC's postcode delivery plugin for shipment rates. However a client wants his deliveries to be handled by mileage rather than postcode.

So we need a plugin that can work out if a user is within 1 mile or 2 miles or 3 miles or whatever (ideally able to set a maximum catchment area). Then charge the customer a delivery fee applicable to the mileage.

Is this possible? Thanks.

Thanks a lot, so to confirm (after reading the pdf) this can do it in miles, and have a seperate price per mile? (up to 2 miles - £2.20. /////  3 Miles - £3.20 for example)

This sounds good, but have come to an agreement with the client on postcodes. I will buy this plugin if we get a client who requires this method instead since it does look a better plugin.
