Right now I'm creating a script that obtains the driving time duration between two locations. the user will first put in a 5 digit zip code and then the script compares to against zip codes in an array. An example of what I intend to do with this is say there's 5 stores and you want to find the closest one to a customer. I have everything set up and the system gets the data perfectly fine except one detail related to the speed of the program.
I've set up a number of alert boxes to pop up so I can "walk" through the program and know when something starts and when something ends. When I walk through the program slowly all the data is returned perfectly fine, but the issue comes up when i take off all the alerts and let the script run as fast as it can which then causes the array of stored times between the two locations is full of undefined or a repeating duration time even though the array zip codes would be states apart. I noticed that at the bottom left of my firefox (my test browser) that there is the map.google.com showing up for a very short period which is fine since I am calling the google api, but I believe that the time it takes to return the data back is the issue. I did confirm this by putting my alert boxes back into my code. And every time i compared a new zip code against the user given I would quickly move through the program (since I'm using alerts to walk through) before the "waiting for maps.google.com" would finish and then I would notice that the returned duration was either undefined or was the same as the last zip code. I was curious if there was a small delay when calling upon the api multiple times per second or is it simply put the lag of the internet? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
