I'm using the following link to open directions from one point to another on Google Maps:
https://www.google.com/maps/?saddr=[one-point]&daddr=[another]
I would like to open the bicycling directly. Which link should I use or which parameter should I add? Adding &mode=bicycling does not seem to work.
Perhaps this has changed since you first asked, but I just followed your link, clicked the Cycling Icon, and then copied the resulting URL, which seems to do what you're after.
Comparing the two URLs, the only difference I see is the addition of !3e1 on the end of a standard "directions" URL.

Is it possible to link to a specific address on https://wego.here.com as you can with Google maps like this: https://www.google.com/maps?q=221b+Baker+Street%2C+London ?
You can do the same by using Places and locating your place and getting the shortened here link to it. Please see the image attached. You can also add locations to your collection and later get the links to them.
Edit (from comment):
You can do it programmatically by appending your search term like this
https://wego.here.com/search/221b-Baker-Street%2C-London
Can we add google analytic script in tag and push it to the GitHub or we should keep it secret i.e. add it to the .env file and call in .
When I tried by the second one it appears in the source page as it is and also not working properly.
I would say there is no meaning of hiding it because it is also shown when 'view page source' is clicked. All you need is a simple filter. It will only include traffic on your domain, protecting yourself from any data corruption when people hijack your Google Analytics Property ID.
To find your filters:
Go to your Google Analytics standard reports
Click on the “Admin” button in the top right
Click on “Filters”
Click “+ New Filter
Then use these settings for your filter:
Select “Create New filter for Profile”
Name your filter with something snazzy like “Hacking Defense”
Select “Custom Filter”
Select “Include”
For the Filter Field, select “Hostname”
If your site is LarsLofgren.com, you would define the filter pattern
as “larslofgren.com” and make sure to include a “\” before any “.”
Pick “No” for case-sensitive
At the end of the day, your analytics id will be visible on your website. So, I don't think you should make an effort to hide it.
Just add it to your base template and you should be ready to go :)
I would like to keep track of how many times a certain link in Google Spreadsheets has been clicked. I have been searching but I can't seem to be able to find how to check whether a link has been clicked or if it is possible to attach onclick event on a link.
A quick solution is to use the Google URL shorten service for the links. This page gives you the number of clicks per link.
its not possible, you cant detect cell or link clicks.
Two possibilities here:
One way is to have a server (or an apps script service) be the link "proxy" and redirect to the final site as in:
script.google.com/.../exec?url=myurl.com
your script tallies the hit and then redirects the user. redirecting without an extra click might not be possible with apps script htmlService but its possible on your own server.
you can make the urls look pretty by using =hyperlink in the cells so users dont see the long url (until click)
Another way if you have control of the links you are pointing to is to use analytics on those pages. You can use the referer to tally views that came from a spreadsheet click, or you can explicitly add parameters to each url so that youcan later filter those comming from your sheet.
I am using google map API to show our locations in a website
The problem:
I search something opening google.com and navigate to map, it is same as the locator on the website. It gives the same result.
When google is opened in local and navigate to map and do the same search, it will navigate to same place however the name is different. Please note it is not that name is in English and French that's the reason it is different. Basically this region on question is disputed over the countries.
Description:
When client opens google in his locale e.g. https://www.google.fr/ and navigates to google map he gets a different result, the name is different for the same place in google map as the place is in the border of 2 countries .
If you open by google.com it will show the widely accepted name whereas if you open google.xx and then open the same location the name will be different.
The locator by default is showing the global name in the website which the client does not want, he is asking for showing the name as displayed when opening from their region.
Is there a way I can set something like a data source or something to show google map based on some particular region.
Help will be appreciated.
Regards
Take a look here.
You can add an optional language parameter to the <script> tag when including the Maps API JavaScript code, specifying the language to use. For example, to display a Maps API application in Japanese, add &language=ja to the <script> tag.
Is it possible for me to do this: people will input the name of a place in my site's textbox and then upon submission, that place will be placed in the database, have my site's embedded google map updated (display all the original places and the added one) and can be toggled?
Currently, I already had a working code of getting the latitude and longitude of a certain place. Placing that information in the database is also done. I can also generate a KML file from my latlng-database. What I wanted is to have the generated kml used by my website's map to get the necessary points and be toggled whether to be displayed or not and will reflect any added area/place. To be more specific, adding a place is only by KML file, meaning the textbox in the site will be added depending on which KML the user will want to change.
Or is it better to use OpenLayers?
Thanks!
