gazever Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Hi I have a list of places of interest which I have their Lat & Lon for, I also have another list of villas of which I'd like to calculate the driving distances between the items. I can output a map with the directions from one point to another, but could I just output the distances between points as a list rather than the directions. Or can I capture the javascript variable and enter into a database to retrive with php to output a list of distances. What id like to achive is something like Distance to Disney: 2 miles Distance to Seaworld: 4 miles Distance to Kennedy Space Center: 15 miles.. etc. Or would I have to manually query every villa for every item and then enter it in a DB I only really know PHP, javascript is new to me hence the lack of knowledge. Google example http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/examples/directions-simple.html HTML BELOW: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"> <head> <title>Google Maps JavaScript API Example: Simple Directions</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/> <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2.x&key=ABQIAAAAzr2EBOXUKnm_jVnk0OJI7xSosDVG8KKPE1-m51RBrvYughuyMxQ-i1QfUnH94QxWIa6N4U6MouMmBA" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> // Create a directions object and register a map and DIV to hold the // resulting computed directions var map; var directionsPanel; var directions; function initialize() { map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas")); directionsPanel = document.getElementById("route"); directions = new GDirections(map, directionsPanel); directions.load("from: 28.1391880, -81.3604530 to: 28.415800, -81.455905"); } </script> </head> <body onload="initialize()"> <div id="map_canvas" style="width: 70%; height: 480px; float:left; border: 1px solid black;"></div> <div id="route" style="width: 25%; height:480px; float:right; border; 1px solid black;"></div> <br/> </body> </html> Hope this makes sense Many Thanks Gazever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
