Hey, I'm trying to work out how to use this to get the distance from the successful directions:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/v3/reference.html#DirectionsDistance
This is the code I have so far:
var googleMaps = {
// HTML Nodes
fromInput: google_maps_from,
toInput: google_maps_to,
// API Objects
dirService: new google.maps.DirectionsService(),
dirRenderer: new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer(),
map: null,
showDirections: function(dirResult, dirStatus) {
if (dirStatus != google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK)
{
//Here we'll handle the errors a bit better :P
alert('Directions failed: ' + dirStatus);
return;
}
else
{
//Get the distance here
//onGDirectionsLoad();
}
// Show directions
googleMaps.dirRenderer.setMap(googleMaps.map);
googleMaps.dirRenderer.setPanel(document.getElementById("directions"));
googleMaps.dirRenderer.setDirections(dirResult);
},
getSelectedTravelMode: function() {
return google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING;
},
getSelectedUnitSystem: function() {
return google.maps.DirectionsUnitSystem.METRIC;
},
getDirections: function() {
var fromStr = googleMaps.fromInput;
var toStr = googleMaps.toInput;
var dirRequest = {
origin: fromStr,
destination: toStr,
travelMode: googleMaps.getSelectedTravelMode(),
unitSystem: googleMaps.getSelectedUnitSystem(),
provideTripAlternatives: true
};
googleMaps.dirService.route(dirRequest, googleMaps.showDirections);
},
init: function() {
googleMaps.map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), {
zoom: 13,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
// Show directions onload
googleMaps.getDirections();
}
};
// Onload handler to fire off the app.
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', googleMaps.init);
I could do this just fine in v2, just having trouble working out the v3 equivalent :x
