How do I make an app that gives me directions from my location and takes me to a unchangeable location

[Andres Tame]

I am using the tutorial on how to make a directions app but I need it to use my current location and take me to my business.

Hello - for create such an app, you will need:

ul
lito use a Geolocation service/li

• get current coordinates and save them;

• define the destination adress (there are several approaches for a static adress: you can store this data in a database or define it as a local storage);

  lithen you need to pass these coordinates (current and destination) to the Google Directions service -- as variables for sourceAddress and destinationAddress in this part/li

  /ul

Yes. I know that but how do I, using the code:

var sourceAddress = Appery("inputSource").val();
var destinationAddress = Appery("inputDestination").val();
var map = Appery("directionsMap").gmap;
displayDirections(sourceAddress, destinationAddress, map);

get the Latitude and Longitude from the storage variables? Meaning, what do I replace the "var sourceAddress = Appery("inputSource").val();" with to
read the local variable and what do I replace the "var destinationAddress = Appery("inputDestination").val();" with to use a set destination? Does it read the address as a String and pass that to google or what?

I'm using this tutorial:

You can use local storage API directly to read the values: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/d...
