Google Maps JavaScript API Display Two Routes with Different Polyline Styles on same Map
I am using the Google Maps JavaScript API and would like to display two routes (each with different polyline styles) on the same map.
The first route is by mode of driving and the start and finish locations are an address input by the user and a parking garage chosen by the user respectively. This route will be displayed as a solid line.
The second route is by mode of walking. This route is from the parking garage to another static location on the same map defined as centerOfMap. This route will be displayed as dashed line with circle symbols.
Desired Output:
// Set the driving route line
var drivingPathLine = new google.maps.Polyline({
strokeColor: '#FF0000',
strokeOpacity: 0,
fillOpacity: 0
});
// Set the walking route line
var walkingLineSymbol = {
path: google.maps.SymbolPath.CIRCLE,
fillOpacity: 1,
scale: 3
};
var walkingPathLine = new google.maps.Polyline({
strokeColor: '#0eb7f6',
strokeOpacity: 0,
fillOpacity: 0,
icons: [{
icon: walkingLineSymbol,
offset: '0',
repeat: '10px'
}],
});
directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer({suppressMarkers:true,polylineOptions: walkingPathLine});
directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService;
The problem is, the way the code is currently written, only the second route (walking route) is displayed on the map. I know I need to place the polyline variables and directionsRenderer inside the getDirectionsHere method, but not sure how. Any guidance is appreciated!
How can I display the two routes on the same map and style each route different (one with a solid polyline and another with a dotted polyline)?

You have two issues with your code:
- the driving directions polyline is transparent (strokeOpacity: 0)
- you have two
calculateAndDisplayRoutefunctions, one for DRIVING, one for WALKING, that won't work in javascript, either give them two different names or make one function to handle the two cases:
function calculateAndDisplayRoute(start, end, driving) {
var selectedMode;
if (driving) selectedMode = "DRIVING";
else selectedMode = "WALKING";
directionsService.route({
origin: start,
destination: end,
travelMode: selectedMode
}, function(response, status) {
if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
if (driving) {
directionsDisplayD.setDirections(response);
var start = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
var end = centerOfMap;
calculateAndDisplayRoute(start, end, false);
} else directionsDisplayW.setDirections(response);
} else {
window.alert('Directions request failed due to ' + status);
}
});
}
}
}
