While I am using Google Maps SDK, I am trying to get driving direction between two locations on iOS. I know we can do this using two methods:-
1.) Using URL Scheme, for which it is necessary that Google Maps App is installed on your device.
2.) Using Directions API, via Request-Response and then parsing the JSON. Displaying markers to show the direction.
Now, my question is there any other way by which I can do this on iOS? I need to show the direction from my current location to a particular location of which i have the Lat/Long.
I mean is it really not possible to simply pass 2 location as parameter and Google Maps SDK, will give me the directions?
Thanks,
It sounds like you are looking for UI Chrome like the Google Maps app has for showing directions. Google Maps SDK for iOS will paint you a map, but you are responsible for the additional navigation chrome.
You can use the Google Directions API to request directions, and then use the encoded path returned from the service to draw a GMSPolyline using GMSPath's pathFromEncodedPath: method.
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:
@"%@?origin=%f,%f&destination=%f,%f&sensor=true&key=%@",
@"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json",
mapView.myLocation.coordinate.latitude,
mapView.myLocation.coordinate.longitude,
destLatitude,
destLongitude,
@"Your Google Api Key String"];
NSURL *directionsURL = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
ASIHTTPRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:directionsURL];
[request startSynchronous];
NSError *error = [request error];
if (!error) {
NSString *response = [request responseString];
NSLog(@"%@",response);
NSDictionary *json =[NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:[request responseData] options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error:&error];
GMSPath *path =[GMSPath pathFromEncodedPath:json[@"routes"][0][@"overview_polyline"][@"points"]];
GMSPolyline *singleLine = [GMSPolyline polylineWithPath:path];
singleLine.strokeWidth = 7;
singleLine.strokeColor = [UIColor greenColor];
singleLine.map = self.mapView;
}
else NSLog(@"%@",[request error]);
Note: make Sure Your Google Direction API Sdk Is Enable in Your google developer Console.
These lines shows location between a given latitude / longitude and user location;
NSString *googleMapUrlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://maps.google.com/?saddr=%f,%f&daddr=%@,%@", mapView.userLocation.coordinate.latitude, mapView.userLocation.coordinate.longitude, destinationLatitude, destinationLongtitude];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:googleMapUrlString]];
I had done it as it also shows PINS DISTANCE AND DURATION on map with DIRECTION ROUTE. But dont forget to set your GOOGLE DIRECTION API TO ENABLED in your GOOGLE DEVELOPER CONSOLE

Here, you need to add your key (google api key) to the above API.

Create a key in google developer console make sure your project is created with App bundleID after that add the following code
NSString *KEY=@"";
NSString *Origin=@"";
NSString *Destination=@"";
NSString *str_maps=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=%@&destination=%@&key=%@",Origin,Destination,KEY];
NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:str_maps];
NSData *dta=[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
NSDictionary *dict=(NSDictionary *)[NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:dta options:kNilOptions error:nil];
NSLog(@"%@",dict);
Using Swift I definitely solved in this way.
My purpose was finding distance between two coordinates:
import AFNetworking
/**
Calculate distance between two valid coordinates
- parameter origin: origin coordinates
- parameter destination: destination coordinates
- parameter completion: completion callback
*/
func calculateDistance(origin origin: CLLocation, destination: CLLocation, completion: (distance: Double?) -> Void) {
let service = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json"
let originLat = origin.coordinate.latitude
let originLong = origin.coordinate.longitude
let destLat = destination.coordinate.latitude
let destLong = destination.coordinate.longitude
let urlString = "\(service)?origin=\(originLat),\(originLong)&destination=\(destLat),\(destLong)&mode=driving&units=metric&sensor=true&key=<YOUR_KEY>"
let directionsURL = NSURL(string: urlString)
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: directionsURL!)
request.HTTPMethod = "GET"
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
let operation = AFHTTPRequestOperation(request: request)
operation.responseSerializer = AFJSONResponseSerializer()
operation.setCompletionBlockWithSuccess({ (operation: AFHTTPRequestOperation!, responseObject: AnyObject!) -> Void in
if let result = responseObject as? NSDictionary {
if let routes = result["routes"] as? [NSDictionary] {
if let lines = routes[0]["overview_polyline"] as? NSDictionary {
if let points = lines["points"] as? String {
let path = GMSPath(fromEncodedPath: points)
let distance = GMSGeometryLength(path)
print("wow \(distance / 1000) KM")
}
}
}
}
}) { (operation: AFHTTPRequestOperation!, error: NSError!) -> Void in
print("\(error)")
}
operation.start()
}
