Google Maps / GPS

Dixie! This is very cool. Any hints on how I would grab the current location and implement a from currentLocation to destination Map?

Cheers,

Malte

Dixie:
I tried to edit your mobile location stack script and got this error:
stack "LiveCode Maps": compilation error at line 7 (Chunk: can't create a variable with that name (explicitVariables?)) near "documentFilePath", char 57

But it still runs fine. - any idea what is going on?

I've attached a stack that will get you started.

be well,

Dixie

Hi Dixie, at the line....

revBrowserSet browserID, "rect", rect of image "browserImage"

in the resizestack handler I get the error

card id 1002: execution error at line n/a (External handler: exception) near "unknown browser id"

Suggesting, perhaps, that I need to install something?

Thanks

Dixie et al,

This thread is of interest and I have down loaded the desktop stack and it looks great. But, jumping off topic, can anyone point me towards some basic mapping that may be plotted without an internet connection?

best wishes
Simon

Hi Dixie (sorry for the delay responding... I somehow missed your followup post). The problem is still happening at this point:

on resizeStack
/* keep the browser 16 pxs from the bottom to be able to get to the resize window box */
set the rect of image "browserimage" to 0, 0 & "," & (the width of this stack) & "," & (the height of this stack -16 )
revBrowserSet browserID, "rect", the rect of image "browserimage" <-- error occurs on this line (see error msg below)
--pass resizeStack
end resizeStack

stack "Maps": execution error at line n/a (External handler: exception) near "unknown browser id"

However, if I click the continue button it continues to initialize and displays a google map... full screen! Very cool. It looks like map is centered around someplace like Bristol.... no, maybe Wells?

Very cool. I will enjoy exploring. Thanks for posting.

Hi Mark...

In the last stack I posted for you, I am now not getting that intermittent error... I have just tried it again. Yes, it does start by being centred on Wells, as that is where I live..

If you are interested, email me off list john@ihouse.on-rev.com ...and I can send you some stacks that show how to show a route and get the directions..

be well

azahn123...

I made a mistake about which forum you had posted in... This attached stack is for mobile, the previous one just runs on the desktop.
Hope that it helps you...

Dixie

Impressive. I really like the work you did there.

I'm trying to replicate and also make some changes to the iOS version of the stack posted here. In the Application Browser, it shows 2 lines of code/script are attached to the card. However, if I look at that card in the Code Editor, it shows 0 lines of code there. Is there some way the code is hidden? I'm trying to merge this stack with the ability to have the app track my current location and start there instead of being centered on the default location in the html file. By missing those 2 lines of code, I get a display that shows the code for the location instead of the map now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Really nice work here.
Love the interactive ability.
And the lateral thinking.
Respect.
