MM & Google Maps Traffic

[Mirrorolentia]

There are two catches which I will try to correct:

1. The Google Maps have their own lifecycle which I could not align with MM module’s. So you may not see the map in the first instance but it will get uploaded within the next interval (as configured in config.interval).
2. The Maps div element keeps getting refreshed after every interval which is a bit irritating :(

@birdy you are missing quotes around the drivin mode, should be mode: 'driving'

@Mirrorolentia - I was thinking of trying this too, but looks like you have made some progress. I hope to dig into what you have later this week. I had seen some further customization I would like to add when time allows. Thanks for the work on this!

@devtech8
Sure that would be great! Thanks!

[birdy]

@Mirrorolentia - wow, thx!! I will test it later :) can’t await

[birdy]

so, as a complete noobie, I just pasted the code (adding Google Api key) in both files.

I can see, there is a gap in the corner (I hope for the map) and if I get you correctly, the map will load “soon”(?).

Thank you one more time and will keep u posted.

Cheers

@birdy
Yes that is correct. You will need to copy the lines from /global module**/ all the way till end…somehow the comments didn’t embed the code correctly

[birdy]

somehow it’s not working:

@birdy
Seems like the MM system didn’t initialize the module itself :(
Are you seeing any errors on the console from where you run “node serveronly” or on the chromium browser i.e from More Tools–> Developer Tools–>Console.

you mean like this:

Connecting socket for: MMM-Traffic
MMM-Traffic helper started ...
Sockets connected & modules started ...

Ready to go! Please point your browser to: http://localhost:8080
Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
