I wrote a script with google maps integration. User can enter two location and calculate the distance between the location. It working fine.
This is original script for user enter location.
<script type="text/javascript">
var source, destination;
var directionsDisplay;
var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', function () {
new google.maps.places.SearchBox(document.getElementById('txtSource'));
new google.maps.places.SearchBox(document.getElementById('txtDestination'));
directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer({ 'draggable': true });
});
function GetRoute() {
var kl = new google.maps.LatLng(3.1292407,101.6121316);
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 7,
center: kl
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('dvMap'), mapOptions);
directionsDisplay.setMap(map);
//*********DIRECTIONS AND ROUTE**********************//
source = document.getElementById("txtSource").value;
destination = document.getElementById("txtDestination").value;
var request = {
origin: source,
destination: destination,
travelMode: google.maps.TravelMode.DRIVING
};
directionsService.route(request, function (response, status) {
if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
directionsDisplay.setDirections(response);
}
});
//*********DISTANCE AND DURATION**********************//
var service = new google.maps.DistanceMatrixService();
service.getDistanceMatrix({
origins: [source],
destinations: [destination],
travelMode: google.maps.TravelMode.DRIVING,
unitSystem: google.maps.UnitSystem.METRIC,
avoidHighways: false,
avoidTolls: false
}, function (response, status) {
if (status == google.maps.DistanceMatrixStatus.OK && response.rows[0].elements[0].status != "ZERO_RESULTS") {
var distance = response.rows[0].elements[0].distance.text;
var duration = response.rows[0].elements[0].duration.text;
var dvDistance = document.getElementById("dvDistance");
dvDistance.innerHTML = "";
dvDistance.innerHTML += "Distance: " + distance + "<br />";
dvDistance.innerHTML += "Duration:" + duration;
} else {
alert("Unable to find the distance via road.");
}
});
}
</script>
This is the table for user enter location. If user clicked submit the distance will display in google map below.
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3">
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
Source:
<input type="text" id="txtSource" value="{{ $carpool->from }}" style="width: 200px" />
Destination:
<input type="text" id="txtDestination" value="{{ $carpool->destination }}" style="width: 200px" />
<br />
<input type="button" value="Get Route" onclick="GetRoute()" />
<hr />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<div id="dvDistance">
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<div id="dvMap" style="width: 500px; height: 500px">
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Now i want to display the distance automatically in other pages. The problems is the script cannot calculate the data which loaded from database. I am using laravel 5 as backend. I tried to pass the data into here but failed to calculate the distance.
//*********DIRECTIONS AND ROUTE**********************//
source = '{{ $user->start}}';
destination = '{{ $user->end}}';
Anyone can help me?
