Google Maps with traffic info

Leliekevertje

Hi 1twanky5,

Thanks for helping me out :)

Tried it, does’nt work unfortunately. Created an HTML.file (Randstad.html) and punt in the folder MagicMirror/modules/MMM-iFrameReload. See below the lines in my config file.

	{
		module: 'MMM-iFrameReload',
		position: 'middle_center', 
		config: {
			url: '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-iFrameReload/Randstad.html',
			height: '800px',
			width: '600px', 
			refreshInterval: 600 //Optional. Default: 3600 = 1 hour
			}
	},

Tried the URL in a browser and that worked. But when I start MagicMirror , the screen turns black. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

I think your url needs to be:

url: 'http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-iFrameReload/Randstad.html',

That’s certainly how it works for me.

A great addition to the MagicMirror.

Hi Honzup,

Lost in lots of “try and error” situations but now I’m on the right path. Thanks it works great!

If anyone have any suggestions to make te screen gray in stead of the default colors from Google, I love to hear it!

Google Maps API provides styling capabilities: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/styling

There is a quite extensive collection of styles you can utilize here: https://snazzymaps.com/explore. Just copy the given JSON from snazzymaps into the styles parameter of GMaps API.

Thanks for all the help, I really appriciate this!

I could not get rid of the (in my opinion ugly) green color which marks highways (with no traffic) with the Google styling as mentioned in the reply of bradyemerson.

I’ve found another solution within the MM Forum so I’ve copy/pasted it. Don’t know if this code is properly correct but it works for me and maybe others can benefit from it.

In the module MMM-iFrameReload i’ve changed te line:
iframe.style = “border:0”

in:
iframe.style = “border:0;-webkit-filter: grayscale(100%);filter: grayscale(100%);”

Hello everyone, I’m wondering if anyone knows how I would be able to track the traffic on a specific road. Perhaps, between a point A and point B? I’m using the map, but it only displays the traffic data for major roads.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
