Google Maps Directions using 1-2-3 instead of A-B-C

I'm using the Google Maps API on Google Maps.

The thing is that, It shows me several stations throughout the path, labeling them as A-B-C-D...Z, but I need to change it as 1-2-3-4-..99,

Here is my code;

directionsService.route({
    origin: $( "#input-directions-start-point" ).val(),
    destination: $( "#input-directions-end-point" ).val(),
    waypoints: waypts, //other duration points
    optimizeWaypoints: true,
    travelMode: google.maps.TravelMode.DRIVING
  }, function(response, status) {
    if (status === google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
      directionsDisplay.setDirections(response);
      console.log(response);
    } else {
      vts.alertDialog( window.localization.error,
        window.localization.error_direction_calculate + ": " + status,
        BootstrapDialog.TYPE_DANGER);
    }
  });

Here is the Screen Shot;

Thanks in Advance

Solution

  • google.maps.DirectionsRendererOptions has property suppressMarkers which when you set to true, will only render the path but not markers.

    You can then render the markers yourself using for example google.maps.Marker, which has label attribute using which you can specify the label inside the marker, which can be for example a number (You can also create your own very custom marker by extending google.maps.OverlayView class, or use RichMarker library). The position of the markers on route can be parsed from response object of directionsService.

    More in docs.

    Working example:

    function init(){
    directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();

    var pos = new google.maps.LatLng(41.218624, -73.748358);
    var myOptions = {
        zoom: 15,
        center: pos,
        mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
    };

    map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), myOptions);
    directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer({map: map, suppressMarkers: true});

    directionsService.route({
        origin: "New York",
        destination: "Chicago",
        waypoints: [{location:"Philadelphia"}, {location:"Boston"}], //other duration points
        optimizeWaypoints: true,
        travelMode: google.maps.TravelMode.DRIVING
    }, function(response, status) {
        if (status === google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
            directionsDisplay.setDirections(response);
			var my_route = response.routes[0];
            for (var i = 0; i < my_route.legs.length; i++) {
                var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                    position: my_route.legs[i].start_location,
                    label: ""+(i+1),
                    map: map
                });
            }
            var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                position: my_route.legs[i-1].end_location,
                label: ""+(i+1),
                map: map
            });
        } else {
            vts.alertDialog( window.localization.error,
                window.localization.error_direction_calculate + ": " + status,
                BootstrapDialog.TYPE_DANGER);
        }
    });
