How to get travel duration and fare estimation?

[Anton Rifco]

Hi folks,

I've been migrating from google maps to gothere, due to the need for fare estimation on our site. and gothere provides it.

I tested the code provide in http://gothere.sg/api/maps/reference.html#GDirections to get travel duration. but seems there's an error, like the following:

if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {

var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));

map.setCenter(new GLatLng(1.362083, 103.819836), 11);

map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());

map.addControl(new GScaleControl());

       

directions = new GDirections(map, document.getElementById("panel"));

directions.load("from: 018956 to: 049835", {travelMode: G_TRAVEL_MODE_TRANSIT});

console.log(directions.getDuration());

       

}

I got the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'Duration' of undefined

Please advice

Regards,

Anton

Hi,

I was working on it as well and I have a solution for it. You need to create an event listener to detect that the load is complete before accessing the variable.

Here's an example:

 

directions = new GDirections(map, document.getElementById("panel"));

directions.load("from: 018956 to: 049835", {travelMode: G_TRAVEL_MODE_TRANSIT});

GEvent.addListener(directions, "load", function() {

  console.log(directions.getDuration());

}

hope that helps..
