Let’s first create a new project and add the Bing maps for JavaScript reference.
Step 1:
We need to create two textboxes for taking the values of two places so following code snippets we need to add in the default.html
Enter the places
From: To: Route clear
Step 2:
Let’s add a new Js file in the Js folder of the project and add the refence in the default.html. Now we will add the following code snippet in the Route.js file
var map, searchManager, mapdirectionsManager; function Clearprev() { map.entities.clear(); if (mapdirectionsManager) { mapdirectionsManager.resetDirections(); } } function FindRoute() { Clearprev(); if ( mapdirectionsManager) { // setting the Route Mode to driving mapdirectionsManager.setRequestOptions({ routeMode:Microsoft.Maps.Directions.RouteMode.driving }); // Create start and end points var initialLocation = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.Waypoint({ address: document.getElementById('fromId').value }); var finalLocation = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.Waypoint({ address: document.getElementById('toId').value }); mapdirectionsManager.addWaypoint(initialLocation ); mapdirectionsManager.addWaypoint(finalLocation ); // displaying the direction mapdirectionsManager.setRenderOptions({ itineraryContainer: document.getElementById('PlaceDiv') }); // displaying route mapdirectionsManager.calculateDirections(); } else { Microsoft.Maps.loadModule('Microsoft.Maps.Directions', { callback: function () { //Create the directions manager mapdirectionsManager = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.DirectionsManager(map); FindRoute(); } }); } } function ShowMessage(title, msg) { var messages = new Windows.UI.Popups.MessageDialog(title, msg); messages.showAsync(); } function LoadMap() { var mapObject= { credentials: "Bing Map Key", mapTypeId: Microsoft.Maps.MapTypeId.road, zoom: 2 }; map = new Microsoft.Maps.Map(document.getElementById("mapViewDiv"), mapObject); } (function () { function initialize() { Microsoft.Maps.loadModule('Microsoft.Maps.Map', { callback: LoadMap }); } document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", initialize, false); })();
In this way we can display the directon route between two places in the map view.
