Actions:
Get Geocodes by Address
Geocodes are latitude and longitude coordinates of a street address, which can be used to place markers on a map. Enter the address and fill in the parameters to obtain the latitude and longitude.
Ā
Get the Address by Geocode
You can obtain an address by entering the latitude and longitude coordinates.
Ā
Get Distance Matrix
You can calculate the distance between two locations by providing either the address names or the latitude and longitude coordinates. Additionally, you'll need to specify the mode of travel (Driving, Walking, Cycling). The response will include the distance and duration of travel.
Get Direction
To obtain steps from the origin to the destination, you need to input the latitude and longitude coordinates for both the origin and destination. This will provide you with the total distance as well as the steps involved in the journey. You can store the steps in a JSON variable for further use.
Ā
Get Directions By Address
Similar to the "Get Direction" action, the difference lies in inputting the address instead of latitude and longitude. However, the resulting payload remains the same.
Ā
Customization:
Customize the output format of directions and store information using JavaScript to suit your application's needs.
