What do you mean by longest route?! you can pass all the streets in the continent you are in and still don't reach the destination!

For example you want to go from Norway to Sweden and you go to Denmark and keep moving in streets forever :D

I believe, you need to use Direction API instead of Distance Matrix API. Please note that you need to add alternatives=true to your query parametrs, then you will have all possible routes suggest by google maps, in addition to their distances/durations :-)
