I have often wished navigating Bangalore were easier. My wish has been granted! A good friend from work shared this website (http://latlong.in/) with me. If you live in Bangalore, Latlong is a boon, because:
1. You can find out the Distance, driving directions, and map route between any two places in Bangalore.
2. You can Search for a (reasonably famous) building, shop, restaurant etc., and you can see its map location, landmarks, etc.
3. You can search for a service in a particular area (example: Driving Schools in Koramangala, Pizza in Bannerghatta Road, etc) and be provided with the closest options.
This website also offers an Sms Service. You can sms FROM TO to 90088-90088, and you will receive information via sms within 10 seconds! The SMS service also provides the approximate auto fare for this distance, which I have tested to be pretty accurate! I understand these sms-es are charged as local sms-es per your operator tariff plan.
Kudos to the company Onze Techologies' hard work and initiative in creating this service!
