Google Maps Directions

weblike

Hello,

I have a BO with Delivery Routes of an order.
One route can contain multiple addresses like:
Address 1 = Loading the goods
Address 2 = Location of delivery
Address 3 = Location of delivery
Address 4 = Location of delivery
ETC......

It is possible to show this delivery route with all locations by a Google Map attribute? I mean to show the directions of the route on a Google Map Presentation.

Google Map directions is supported in the latest Aware IM version.

Hello,

I know that are supported, but I was not clear sorry.
I know AwareIM has the feature to show directions when is setup to click on a spot directly on map.

what I want is to show a map directly with the directions regarding the addresses introduced by the user in database.
If a user inserts several addresses than a map with those directions to show up.
Is this possible?

Not exactly what you are after, but you could add a "show route" button by just submitting a URL to Google with the adresses as parameters.

Here is a basic string which will return a map and directions from Google.

https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=<<bo.addr1>>+to:<<bo.addr2>>+to:<<bo.addr3>>+to:<<bo.addr4>>

If the addresses are multiple fields, then Add a +. I.e. <<bo.addr1>>+<<bo.addr1city>>+<<bo.addr1state>>

Here is some cost with hard wired destinations, just as a sample.

<a target="_blank"href="https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Scituate+MA+to:Boston+MA+to:Newton+MA+to:Weymouth+MA"><img style="border:0px;" src="http://images.webestools.com/buttons.php?frm=1&btn_type=60&txt=Update%20Map" onmouseover="this.src='http://images.webestools.com/buttons.php?frm=2&btn_type=60&txt=Update%20Map'" onmouseout="this.src='http://images.webestools.com/buttons.php?frm=1&btn_type=60&txt=Update%20Map';" alt="Update%20Map" /></a>
