Can I create document (pushpin) issues via api? - autodesk-forge

I want to integrate my web api with bim360 api.
In my app I need to create pushpin issues. Can I do it by bim360 api?
The documentation says yes and no:
https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/tutorials/issues/create-issues/
https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/reference/http/field-issues-POST/
What is the truth?

Sorry for the confusion, but pushpin issue was supported recently, you can check the ChangeLog for the information.
I believe the doc is not updated well, will report this to internal documentation team. But you should be able to create pushpin issue following the tutorial at https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/tutorials/pushpins/create-pushpin/, if any issue, feel free to let us know.

Does Google Map API V3 provide solution to tracking moving assets without using mobile app?

there,
Does Google Map API V3 include solution that allows to track moving assets without us having to develop additional mobile apps (apps to be installed on each asset to be tracked)?
My company is a Google Maps APIs Premium plan business user and we have several .Net C# web pages already using Google Map API. And we are looking for the possibility to add a moving-assets-tracking feature on our website now, but we prefer not to get into mobile app developments for this.
If that possible? I googled, but not seeing much info on this. Could you please provide some detailed examples?
Thanks!
Asset tracking is possible with Google Maps Platform, but I don't think this is possible without installing an application to the asset being tracked as there
could be no means to track it.
By V3, if you are referring to JavaScript API then it is not possible.
You may read about asset tracking in this documentation:
https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/asset-tracking/
Contacting sales team for Google Maps might be able to provide you something. But this is still unsure. The contact sales form can be found in the link above.

Is it possible to avoid tolls in Google Maps URLs latest version?

In the old Maps URLs API, you could add "&dirflg=dt" in the URL.
Here's an example URL using the new API taken from Google's official pages here:
https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&origin=Google+Pyrmont+NSW&destination=QVB&destination_place_id=ChIJISz8NjyuEmsRFTQ9Iw7Ear8&travelmode=driving
In the Google official pages, I was unable to find anything related to sending it flags to avoid tolls so I'm not even sure if it is possible with the new API.
Does someone have any info to enlighten me with? Thanks for reading.
:)
This is not possible with the Maps URL in this version, but you can do this manually after loading the directions.
You can try this:
Load the URL. (eg.:
https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&origin=Google+Pyrmont+NSW&destination=QVB&destination_place_id=ChIJISz8NjyuEmsRFTQ9Iw7Ear8&travelmode=driving)
On the left part of the screen, click OPTIONS.
Under Avoid, check Tolls.
However, if you want this functionality to be in the parameters, you can send your ideas by going in the Maps URLs Documentation and click SEND FEEDBACK. Or you can submit this as a Feature Request in Google Issue Tracker
Hope this helps!
This is possible, but you have to use "undocumented" features.
Warning: Since these are not documented features, they probably aren't official and likely subject to change without notice. Use in production at your own risk.
tldr:
https://www.google.com/maps/dir/{origin}/{destination}/data=!4m3!4m2!2m1!2b1
Plug in origin and destination and it should load directions, avoiding toll roads.
Explanation:
Here, we are using Google's own data/options string (see: "data=") to get the desired functionality. It is meant to be used by the Google Map's web app itself to communicate options selected on the page. This article (and the ones following it) explain how to create your own "data=" strings to customize how the map is configured. It's quite comprehensive, but like I said above, its not an official feature.

Is it possible to get live traffic layer data from android google api?

I am trying to get the live traffic data for a point(provided lat & long), is there any Google Maps API service which can provide me the Google Maps traffic layer data for a specified point?
Hello #R AaHul Dutta,
Thanks for inquiring about this feature and for helping to keep this conversation alive. At the moment, the google.maps.TrafficLayer class does not support Typical data since the class is defaulted to autoRefresh: true.
You could help the community by showing support in the Google Public Issue Tracker's existing feature request. Feel free to show us your support for new features and don't forget to follow our blog for feature roll-outs, and bug fixes as new versions of the Google Maps JS API roll-out.

Is it possible to set up geofences with Mapbox API

I'm looking to create and use geofences using Mapbox API and cannot find any documentation available. In my case, the geofences would alert my users of a map-based mobile app when they are within a certain radius of a Point of Interest.
Gmaps has a nice section for developers here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/tracks/geofences
Has anyone used or found documentation for geofencing with Mapbox?
Thank you for your help!
There is no documentation because this feature does not exist yet. I would recommend maybe something like Esri's GeoTrigger API for this.
Esri GeoTrigger Service is now in beta. https://developers.arcgis.com/geotrigger-service/
Once out of beta it will use 1 service credit per 12 triggers
This feature is now available.
