Can we do routing using the Google layer only in Desktop edition. I do not have any shape file for streets.
Routing using Google Layer
Hi Anik,
Thanks for your post, and welcome to Mapsuite world, would you please us Google Direction Service to fulfill it?
About Google Direction Service, please refer to :
developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/directions
Hope it helps

Yes we can use google direction service. But how do we use the Map Suite Routing engine with google direction service. I couldn’t find any example. All the examples use the shape files.
Thanks
Hi Anik,
The Map Suite Routing Engine is an extension of Map Suite products, which is provided for the users to deal with their own data and do the route, sorry that we don’t provide any functionalities working with 3rd part service engine. But a walk around it that, as far as I know, we could get a xml result(attahced) from google and parse its points on the road then use these points to build a lineshape then our desktop coud display the lineshape.
Here is a link for how to parse the xml: developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/?hl=en-us#DirectionsRequests
if you have any more question , please feel free to let us know.

Hi Anik,
I guess this is a good feature, we can consider adding this in future. But now, if it’s urgent for you, could you contact support@thinkgeo.com or sales@thinkgeo.com for a special support?
Thanks,
Johnny
