Display multiple routes on google map - google-maps

Question

I am trying to show multiple routes on google map but It is showing only one. Can you please what I am doing wrong?
<div class="searchmap" style="float:left;margin-left:1%" id="map"></div>
var map = null;
var markerPoints = [];
var directionDisplay;
var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();
function initialize()
{
directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer();
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {scrollwheel:false, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP, mapTypeControl: false, streetViewControl: false, center:new google.maps.LatLng(19.0759837, 72.87765590000004), zoom:13});
directionsDisplay.setMap(map);
}
function calcRoute(flat, flng, tlat, tlng)
{
var start = new google.maps.LatLng(flat, flng);
var end = new google.maps.LatLng(tlat, tlng);
var request = {
origin:start,
destination:end,
travelMode: google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING
};
directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer({
suppressMarkers: false,
suppressInfoWindows: true
});
directionsDisplay.setMap(map);
directionsService.route(request, function(result, status) {
console.log(result);
if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
directionsDisplay.setDirections(result);
}
});
}
calcRoute("19.210430", "72.843422", "19.109858", "72.878433");
calcRoute("19.228977", "72.856812", "19.117302", "72.884041");
Can you please let me know what I am doing wrong?

Here you go.. the full explaination , credit goes to the author
function drawMap() {
var directionDisplay;
var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();
var map;
var start = new google.maps.LatLng(51.47482547819850,-0.37739553384529);
var myOptions = {
zoom:7,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
center: start
}
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
function renderDirections(result) {
var directionsRenderer = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer();
directionsRenderer.setMap(map);
directionsRenderer.setDirections(result);
}
function requestDirections(start, end) {
directionsService.route({
origin: start,
destination: end,
travelMode: google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING
}, function(result) {
renderDirections(result);
});
}
requestDirections('(51.47482547819850,-0.37739553384529)', '(51.59512428598160,-0.17190814889409)');
requestDirections('EC1V 0AH', '(51.47615506206120, -0.37795315370703)');
}
you need to create an instance of google.maps.DirectionsRenderer(); EVERYTIME you draw the route to make it visible ;)

Answer 3

Your directionsDisplay variable is an instance of google.maps.DirectionsRenderer() and that can only hold one set of directions at a time. If you want to display more than one route, you need multiple google.maps.DirectionsRenderer().

Answer 4

To get multiple routes we can add provideRouteAlternatives = true inside request object while calling route() of DirectionsService object. See Directions Requests.
This method will return array of routes if available with their name in summary key.
Now we can display these routes on view and on click of each route we can pass route object and can render the direction by setDirections() of DirectionsRenderer object. See Displaying the DirectionsResult
