Hi!

I have looked at your new google map tutorials, you can type in directions "from" and "to".

Is these tutorials- i wonder if the function also is so you just can type in the "to" field- and use it as a gps from your current location without filling out the "from" input field?

I also wonder if it is any easy way to get your gps grid viewable?

Hi Lars,

These tutorials may be helpful:

Thanks

I have built the second link you got. The only field i miss there is a destination input field- wich i can travel from "my location"... None of the tutorials seem to mention this. Got any suggestion how to make this?

Hello!
Sorry, could you clarify in more details what do you mean?

I did this tutorial. http://docs.appery.io/tutorials/build...

But what im after, is a function that i can write a "destination", and use the current gps position as "from". Bascially a normal GPS route option

Hi Lars,

Sorry, not sure we understand. Could you provide the exact steps please?

I guess he is trying to achive same approach that I looking for..

Hello,

Please tell us what exactly have you tried and what doesn't work.

Hi!

Well, what i basically want is a input field that i can type in an adress/destination- so it can be used as a car gps

Hello Lars,

Yes, you can create route from gps to the destination.

For this goal please follow these steps:
ol
liYou need to store latitude and longitude into LSV with names: "originLatitude" and "originLongitude".

/liliReplace js asset from tutorial with following one: http://prntscr.com/39t4bu/direct
precode
var directionsDisplay;
var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();

function initialize() {
directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer();
}

function displayDirections(sourceAddress, destinationAddress, map) {
var coordinatesOrigin = localStorage.getItem("originLatitude") + "," + localStorage.getItem("originLongitude");

 console.log("origin coordinates = " + coordinatesOrigin); 

 var request = { 
     origin: coordinatesOrigin, 
     //origin: sourceAddress, 
     destination: destinationAddress, 
     travelMode: google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING 
 }; 

 directionsService.route(request, function(response, status) { 
 directionsDisplay.setMap(map); 
   if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) { 
     directionsDisplay.setDirections(response); 
   } else { 
     alert("Directions query unsuccessful. Response status: " + status); 
   } 
 }); 

}/code/pre/li
Note: when you run "Get directories" functional you should see in your browser console something like this: "origin coordinates = 51.3030,0.0732" if coordinates are wrong - please check out first step.

That's all. All other tutorial things you should leave without changes.

Regards./ol
