Here's a very basic example using the v3 API:

<!DOCTYPE html>
    <html> 
    <head> 
       <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/> 
       <title>Google Maps API v3 Directions Example</title> 
       <script type="text/javascript" 
               src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
    </head> 
    <body style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"> 
       <div style="width: 600px;">
         <div id="map" style="width: 280px; height: 400px; float: left;"></div> 
         <div id="panel" style="width: 300px; float: right;"></div> 
       </div>
       
       <script type="text/javascript"> 
    
         var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();
         var directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer();
    
         var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
           zoom:7,
           mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
         });
        
         directionsDisplay.setMap(map);
         directionsDisplay.setPanel(document.getElementById('panel'));
    
         var request = {
           origin: 'Chicago', 
           destination: 'New York',
           travelMode: google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING
         };
    
         directionsService.route(request, function(response, status) {
           if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
             directionsDisplay.setDirections(response);
           }
         });
       </script> 
    </body> 
    </html>

Solution 2

Code to get route, legs and other data using Latitude/longitude OR using Address without google map in JavaScript using v3 API:

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3&key=<key>&libraries=places"></script>

<script>
    var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();

    var start_lat = "41.8781136";
    var start_lon = "-87.6297982";
    var end_lat = "40.7127753";
    var end_lon = "-74.0059728";

    // Using Latitude and longitude
    var request = {
        origin: new google.maps.LatLng(start_lat, start_lon),
        destination: new google.maps.LatLng(end_lat, end_lon),
        optimizeWaypoints: true,
        avoidHighways: false,
        avoidTolls: false,
        travelMode: google.maps.TravelMode.DRIVING
    };

    //Using plain address
    // var request = {
    //     origin: { query: "Chicago, IL, USA" },
    //     destination: {  query: "New York, NY, USA" },
    //     travelMode: google.maps.TravelMode.DRIVING,
    // };

    directionsService.route(request, function(response, status) {
        if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
            var route = response.routes[0];
            var leg = response.routes[0].legs[0];
            var polyline = route.overview_polyline;
            var distance = route.legs[0].distance.value;
            var duration = route.legs[0].duration.value;

            console.log(route); // Complete route
            console.log(distance); // Only distance 
            console.log(duration); // Only duration
            console.log(leg); // Route options/list
            console.log(polyline); // Polyline data
        }
    });

</script>

Google gave an example http://googlemapsapi.blogspot.com/2007/05/driving-directions-support-added-to.html

Is the source code available somewhere or a tutorial on that precise example ?

  Are you planning to use the V2 API or the V3? The latter is recommended, as V2 has been deprecated.

  V3 if it is recommanded. I'm learning now so I'd like some source code.

  Please give a link for getting the source code to understands!!!

Thank you that's exactly what I wanted: the minimalistic example for learning.

@danial vassallo Thanx for this helpful answer. does this have language option for the response output that it gives.?

Hi Daniel, I had implemented your answer, it works fine, i modified it little bit, i added alternative:true in request, so it giving me multiple routes, and if i clicked on one of the route, it immediately show route on Map, now i want to know that and which route user has clicked ? is there any way to save the details of that route ? can u please suggest me something ?

@hardik To change language, you need to modify the call to the maps API ie for French: maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&language=fr

@hardik no probs. I saw it was a while back but thought I'd offer help for anyone else coming to the post if they needed it. Cheers

I spent FOREVER trying to get around the silly CORS problem. This was the UTLIMATE solution. Thank you so much.

In the same code, I want to show direction from my current location to a lat long, Also when I move then my marker should move. Same like google map app. Is it possible? If yes please tell me how can I do it with java-script and php. I have google map driving direction API key.
