MMM-google-route and coordinates

Zippyczech

Hey guys,

I´m working on my MM, and I found module MMM-google-route which I want to use for showing the route from my home to my work, but I´m not able to set the coordinates from google.maps.DirectionsRequest interface because of my lack of skills :) Any help would be welcomed.

Btw, for anyone who want to use the module, there is mistake on github example, its missing , at end of the exaple, its should be

           {
            module: 'MMM-google-route',
            position: 'top_left',
            config: {
                key: '<YOUR_KEY>',
                directionsRequest:{
                    origin: '<ROUTE START>',
                    destination: '<ROUTE FINISH>'
                }
            }
        },

@Zippyczech use the latitude/longitude…

open google maps, find the location
in the address bar/location

for New York, Ny, USA

maps/place/New+York,+NY/@40.6971478,-74.2605536,

the 2 numbers are the latitude (above/below equator), and longitude (east/west of London, approx)

use one set for origin and one for destination

I´m retarded, of course, it worked. I tried the first time and did some mistake so it didnt work.
Thank you

Btw, do you know how to specify that the route should use subway only?

@Zippyczech sorry. Don’t know anything about the module

Looking at the code, it appears u could change the code to support train

travelMode: 'DRIVING'

But not thru config altho that would be an easy change I think.

Thank you, again, solved it moments later :) I used https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-MyCommute which has better configuration options
