This web application uses the Google Maps Directions API to calculate walking directions, then formats the results and can send them to a printer. Eventually it will also be able to generate a one-dimensional map.
wish list:
- draw a vertical scale which includes the turning points, where the points and labels are spaced according to the distances, thereby generating a one-dimensional map
- use the Cyclestreets API instead of Google Directions
- prevent the print window from closing when the print preview is closed (Firefox and Chrome)
- JavaScript
- Google Map Directions API
- HTML/CSS, Google Fonts, ColourLovers palettes
You will need your own Google API key for this app to work. Once you have generated one as per these instructions, search for YOUR_API_KEY in googledirections.html and replace it with your own.
