@vicmora : yes, I added position to various spots(e.g top_left; bottom_center,…) and tried various width and heights but still frame not visible.
Tried as well a complete empty config with only this module loaded-> no sucess.
I guess it might be an Google api key issue: Could you please show you google api devboard: Which service needs to be activated in google api? An which is showing traffic on your google api?
Thanks.

@blue2monster This is where I grabbed the api key: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/

I created a pull request that I’d like merged. I added a config parameter that allows you to specify the type of map to display, my favorite is the hybrid which shows a satellite image with the roads on top. I left the default to display just the road maps as before.

vicmora

@sprior Thanks! I merged it today.

I’m familiar with git, but not github as much. Since I forked your repository to make my change, then did a pull request which you accepted, I now show my repo as being one commit behind yours. How do I tell github to pull that commit, or do I just delete my repo and fork again when/if needed?

Hey,

cool module but got some issues when trying to select a dark mode style.
I wanted to look the map like in this example: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/styling

well, i have tried to use your code and modify the colors. also i have tried to use the code from here: https://mapstyle.withgoogle.com

the module always starts, but i just got the standard view on it.

maybe you could explain a little bit more detailed how to do it. that would be great. thx

@Osyris said in MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic:

Hey guys, I figured it’s easy enough to style the map by editing the JS file. So in order to get the night mode as shown in pflodo’s post (and to disable the UI buttons) I added the following to the JS code:

//original code
        script.onload = function () {
            var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
            	zoom: 10,
            	center: {
            		lat: lat,
            		lng: lng
            	},
//add a comma after the } above
//new code:
		disableDefaultUI: true,
		styles: [
			{elementType: 'geometry', stylers: [{color: '#242f3e'}]},
			{elementType: 'labels.text.stroke', stylers: [{color: '#242f3e'}]},
			{elementType: 'labels.text.fill', stylers: [{color: '#746855'}]},
			{
			    featureType: 'administrative.locality',
			    elementType: 'labels.text.fill',
			    stylers: [{color: '#d59563'}]
			},
			{
				featureType: 'poi',
				elementType: 'labels.text.fill',
				stylers: [{color: '#d59563'}]
			},
			{
				featureType: 'poi.park',
			        elementType: 'geometry',
			        stylers: [{color: '#263c3f'}]
			},
			{
				featureType: 'poi.park',
				elementType: 'labels.text.fill',
				stylers: [{color: '#6b9a76'}]
			},
			{
				featureType: 'road',
				elementType: 'geometry',
				stylers: [{color: '#38414e'}]
			},
			{
				featureType: 'road',
				elementType: 'geometry.stroke',
					  stylers: [{color: '#212a37'}]
			},
			{
				featureType: 'road',
				elementType: 'labels.text.fill',
					  stylers: [{color: '#9ca5b3'}]
			},
			{
				featureType: 'road.highway',
				elementType: 'geometry',
				stylers: [{color: '#746855'}]
			},
			{
				featureType: 'road.highway',
				elementType: 'geometry.stroke',
				stylers: [{color: '#1f2835'}]
			},
			{
				featureType: 'road.highway',
				elementType: 'labels.text.fill',
				stylers: [{color: '#f3d19c'}]
			},
			{
				featureType: 'transit',
				elementType: 'geometry',
				stylers: [{color: '#2f3948'}]
			},
			{
			        featureType: 'transit.station',
				elementType: 'labels.text.fill',
				stylers: [{color: '#d59563'}]
			},
			{
			        featureType: 'water',
			        elementType: 'geometry',
				stylers: [{color: '#17263c'}]
			},
			{
				featureType: 'water',
				elementType: 'labels.text.fill',
				stylers: [{color: '#515c6d'}]
			},
			{
				featureType: 'water',
				elementType: 'labels.text.stroke',
				stylers: [{color: '#17263c'}]
			}
		]
//old code again
            });

Have fun!

Also, if you want to make the background black (so it looks cool on the mirror), set the first attribute ‘geometry’ to ‘#000000’.

Try this…works 4 me

but where to add this code?

i typed in this in my MagicMirror/config/config.js:

Great, that worked. Thank you.

Another question:

Do you think its possible to show the map just at specific times.

like in this module: https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-MyCommute

so you were able to show the map just at times u need to know the traffic situation. for example i just need it Mo-Fr between 05:00-07:00 am and on Fr between 02:00-08:00 pm and Sa-So between 09:00am-02:00pm.

its just an idea. Anyhow its a great module that worked now really fine for me :)

@cruunnerr

try mmm-scheduler . this is a modul which gives u the opportunity to schedule all modules to show and hide to a spedific time.

nice if u have not enough space on ur screen and want to switch between modules by time

Aurelsam

Hi everybody,
Do you think it would be possible to include a marker on the map to see my house on the map I display?
Thanks

sheddingmyskin

Anyone else having issues with the map rendering streets / traffic /actual data rather than a blank frame? I have tried several of the forks, and they all end the same way. I have confirmed by use of MMM-Traffic that my API key is valid.

config.js:

modules: [
		{
			module: "alert",
		},
		{
			module: "updatenotification",
			position: "top_bar"
		},
 // added Modules 
                {
                        module: 'MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic',
                        position: 'bottom_right',
                        config: {
                                key: '************************',
                                lat: '30.00000',
                                lng: '-90.000000',
                                height: '300px',
                                width: '300px'
	  	            }
                },
		{

@sheddingmyskin said in MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic:

                            lat: '30.00000',
                            lng: '-90.000000',

This is wrong. Must look like this:

lat: 30.00000,
lng: -90.000000,

Without the ’

@cruunnerr
Thanks! That was it. I had it like that to begin with, but using a different fork, that did not allow the module to appear at all. I changed at some point and thought I was making progress.

alkank

Hi guys,

Is there anyway to change the Style of the map automaticaly according to sun like navigations systems?

rak

@aurelsam asked for markers. I built this in a very generic way. Will create a pull request soon.

rak

Hi,

I added a pull request to the original module which adds markers and an option for transparent maps.

Have fun.

Regards
Ralf
