How to draw the route path in bing map version 7.0 by passing the lat and long as a source and address as a destination

**vipulsinghal2006** · 05-10-2011

I am facing the problem to draw the route path when i am passing the lat and long as a source and address as a destination like in bing map version 6.3.

And also if i pass the address as a destination and if same address belongs to multiple location then enable to display the popup of multiple location or disambiguation like the inbuilt feature in bing map version 6.3.

Can anyone provide the solution for the above problems. ASAP

Also, here's some source code from the interactive API on working with a route:

Actually i want to draw a route in ajax bing map version 7.0 by using the source of the route as a lat and long and destincation as a address but i am enable to get the route by passing this.

And if i pass the address as a destincation and passing address is belongs to multiple location then in ajax bing map version 7.0 enable to show the disambiguation dialog box as like its inbuild functionality in ajax bing map version 6.3.

Please provide me any detail solution for this with example

The route function is no longuer available in v7 (nor is the disembiguation dialog).

However the good news is that you can use the REST services to do the same thing v6.3 was doing internally anyway (and you can use the same credentials as the AJAX control's).

You would use the Location service for the disembiguation first, and the Routes service for calculating the route once you have the geocoded coordinate.

Also, the Routes service (as far as I recall) can handle one step as latlong and destination as address if needed / want to skip disembiguation.

REST Services API: Bing Maps REST Services

(and once you have the route, you would use its legs to create Polyline entities and add them to map.entities (or create an EntityCollection added to the map).

Hello, I tried this as a cut and paste and no map appeared- what am I missing. Also, is it possible for you to include a form (see below) for user input of destination 2 (or destination 1 and 2?) in the example - this is something I hope to get working in the next few days! I need the complete code because I am still a cut and paste person :-0

name="form" action="" method="post">

id="from" type="text" value="" name="From" />

id="findit" type="button" value="Find It!" name="find" onclick="GetDirections();"/>

/>

/>

Your directions are: />
