I’ve made a little update to my GoogleMaps ColdFusion Tag. I haven’t worked on the project in quite some time, but in the past week or so I’ve been investigating the options to add routing and driving directions to the tag.
The Google Maps API doesn’t offer routing capabilities (even though Google has them), so I had to find another way to show routing and driving directions using the GoogleMaps ColdFusion Tag. In the end, it was quite simple, and I’m using Google’s own interactive online mapping application to provide the routing and driving direction waypoints.
I plan on adding more features to the tag, admittedly, it is quite basic at the moment (other than the ability to show routing and driving directions). It might also be a little buggy, I’ve only recently added this functionality. But, I am wanting to improve it and make it very robust and functional, so if you do find something, please send me an email (scott at scottmebberson dot com).
I’m going to create an RIAForge project, and actively develop features and functionality there. I’ll write a post once that is available.
I’ve updated the downloads link to the right, but you can take a look at the working example (make sure the addresses you provide are correct, otherwise it will error).
