Google Maps AutoComplete and Directions with fixed destination and variable origin


I am using GoogleMaps with AutoComplete and Directions services to draw a route between two markers (places). The example on google maps documentation has two input fields, one for origin and other for destination. I have destination LatLong. How can I fix the destination with these latLong and draw route when user selects origin.

destination lat/lng: latitude: 25.116810, longitude: 55.123562

Solution

  • In

    this.directionsService.route({
          origin: {'placeId': this.originPlaceId},
          destination: {'placeId': this.destinationPlaceId},
          travelMode: this.travelMode
        }, function(response, status) {
    

    In destination substitude with a LatLng:

    destination: {lat: 25.116810, lng: 55.123562}
    

    and you can erase input for destination or any event associated to get this field from user.
