Google Routing Widget for the Flexviewer

[andrewj_ca]

I've just posted a widget for leveraging Google's directions api.  Download and enjoy, both compiled and uncompiled versions have been supplied.  I've posted version 1 of the widget to get some comments and maybe see what additional functionality people may want.  I have my own ideas but I'd like to get some feedback.  Please remember to rate the widget if you like what you see.

Hi Andrew,

Did this widget get removed from the arcgis site?  It asks for a login but then says I'm not authorized to view the resource.  Just curious, I actually already have everything working except the zoom to route feature.

Thanks for any insight you might have.

Thanks Mike Don't forget to rate it. I will have an update after I get a few more comments.  I do have zoom to route working.  I will be adding from and to points and tooltips along the route.

I'm trying run the widgets in 3.5 but i am running into an error on geometryService.project([p2 as Geometry], map.spatialReference);

Implicit coercion of a value of type com.esri.ags:SpatialReference to an unrelated type com.esri.ags.tasks.supportClasses:ProjectParameters. GoogleRoutingWidget.mxml

....can someone help me out please.

Sounds like maybe you are using a widget compiled for 2.x with 3.x.  Where did you download this widget (the item mentioned above does not seem accessible any more)?

[ShahSani]

Yups, i'm using a widget compiled for 2.x with 3.5. just try my luck because i compiled social media widget 2.2 for 3.5 and it's working.I'm download the widget in 2011 (not accessible any more).

If you want to upgrade 2.x code to 3.x, the best starting point (in addition to trying and then interpret error messages), is probably
https://developers.arcgis.com/en/flex/guide/migrating-to-3-x.htm

From that page and related to your error:
On the GeometryService, the input parameter for the project() method is now projectParameters instead of geometries. This also allows for specifying datum transformations (requires ArcGIS 10.1 for Server).

Be aware that the old routetasksolver web service is being retired on 12/31/2013.

The North American and European route solvers will be gone after 12/31/2013 per:
http://downloads.esri.com/support/product%20life%20cycle/online_gis/ArcGISOnlineServ_PLC.pdf

Here is the new Route Solver:

Be aware:
This service is available for users with an ArcGIS Online organizational subscription.  To access this map service, you'll need to sign in with an account that is a member of an organizational subscription.

Heads up!

The new route widget in the above reply does not work in flex viewer 3.0 compiled version. I had to upgrade to flex viewer 3.1 compiled version. Now once the user enters the two addresses, it pops up a signon box. The user must sign in with a userid and password that is a member of an ArcGIS Online organizational subscription.
Good Luck.
