I'm using the Google Maps API to develop a web application. I am trying to create a route between two points but for some reason I haven't figured out how create it. Below is my code, please let me know if there is something I am missing. Thank you.
<script>
var Center=new google.maps.LatLng(18.210885,-67.140884);
var directionsDisplay;
var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();
var map;
function initialize() {
directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer();
var properties = {
center:Center,
zoom:20,
mapTypeId:google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE
};
map=new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), properties);
directionsDisplay.setMap(map);
var marker=new google.maps.Marker({
position:Center,
animation:google.maps.Animation.BOUNCE,
});
marker.setMap(map);
}
function Route() {
var start = new google.maps.LatLng(18.210885,-67.140884);
var end =new google.maps.latLng(18.211685,-67.141684);
var request = {
origin:start,
destination:end,
travelMode: google.maps.TravelMode.WALKING
};
directionsService.route(request, function(result, status) {
if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
directionsDisplay.setDirections(result);
}
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window,'load',initialize);
</script>
It works for me if I:
- call the Route function
change:
var end =new google.maps.latLng(18.211685,-67.141684);
to:
var end =new google.maps.LatLng(18.211685,-67.141684);
(javascript is case sensitive, the browser reported the error in the javascript console)
working version
code snippet:
var Center = new google.maps.LatLng(18.210885, -67.140884);
var directionsDisplay;
var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();
var map;
function initialize() {
directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer();
var properties = {
center: Center,
zoom: 20,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), properties);
directionsDisplay.setMap(map);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: Center,
animation: google.maps.Animation.BOUNCE,
});
marker.setMap(map);
Route();
}
function Route() {
var start = new google.maps.LatLng(18.210885, -67.140884);
var end = new google.maps.LatLng(18.211685, -67.141684);
var request = {
origin: start,
destination: end,
travelMode: google.maps.TravelMode.WALKING
};
directionsService.route(request, function(result, status) {
if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
directionsDisplay.setDirections(result);
} else {
alert("couldn't get directions:" + status);
}
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
