Let me see if I get (I read your post really fast). You just need to
get the distante and the time without drawing the map.
you can do this in this manner (if you want I can send you an HTML
file that shows what I'm using):
function initialize() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
gdir = new GDirections({},
document.getElementById("directions"));
GEvent.addListener(gdir, "load", onGDirectionsLoad);
GEvent.addListener(gdir, "error", handleErrors);
//Get the params by url or Input box
setDirections(PARAM1,PARAM2 , "en_US");
}
}
function setDirections(fromAddress, toAddress, locale) {
gdir.load("from: " + fromAddress + " to: " + toAddress,
{ "locale": locale });
}
function handleErrors(){
if (gdir.getStatus().code == G_GEO_UNKNOWN_ADDRESS)
alert("No corresponding geographic location could be found for
one of the specified addresses. This may be due to the fact that the
address is relatively new, or it may be incorrect.\nError code: " +
gdir.getStatus().code);
else if (gdir.getStatus().code == G_GEO_SERVER_ERROR)
alert("A geocoding or directions request could not be
successfully processed, yet the exact reason for the failure is not
known.\n Error code: " + gdir.getStatus().code);
else if (gdir.getStatus().code == G_GEO_MISSING_QUERY)
alert("The HTTP q parameter was either missing or had no value.
For geocoder requests, this means that an empty address was specified
as input. For directions requests, this means that no query was
specified in the input.\n Error code: " + gdir.getStatus().code);
// else if (gdir.getStatus().code == G_UNAVAILABLE_ADDRESS) <---
Doc bug... this is either not defined, or Doc is wrong
// alert("The geocode for the given address or the route for the
given directions query cannot be returned due to legal or contractual
reasons.\n Error code: " + gdir.getStatus().code);
else if (gdir.getStatus().code == G_GEO_BAD_KEY)
alert("The given key is either invalid or does not match the
domain for which it was given. \n Error code: " +
gdir.getStatus().code);
else if (gdir.getStatus().code == G_GEO_BAD_REQUEST)
alert("A directions request could not be successfully parsed.\n
Error code: " + gdir.getStatus().code);
else alert("An unknown error occurred.");
}
function onGDirectionsLoad(){
// Use this function to access information about the latest
load()
// results.
alert(gdir.getSummaryHtml());
// document.getElementById("getStatus").innerHTML =
gdir.getStatus().code;
}
