The application that I am working on right now is a shipping scheduler and time/profit estimation tool for a local business. With gas prices the way they are, they need to know if the current routes they run are the most efficient or if stops can be removed or switched around, etc. I am using the google maps api primarily for the GDirections functionality, which provides a fairly decent estimate for mileage and drive time on a set of waypoints I create from the database of routes that are run.
The certain piece I am working on right now is a basic print report that has all of the details such as estimated drive time, driving mileage, and then all of the costs expected based on the fuel efficiency of the truck, the cost of goods, the pay rate of the driver, etc. This piece does not have a requirement for the map itself. Is there a way that I could derive the same GDirections data without loading a map, or am I stuck simply creating a map and having its visibility set to none? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
