i have trying to use Virtual map on my web site, athough it seems to work OK, i canot find a method/ script on here to allow me to enter my start and end Postcodes to generate a route. can only one suggest a forum topic or website for me to find this

thanks in advance

var From = "FromPostcode" + ", UK";

var To = "ToPostcode" + ", UK";

function GetMap()
{
map = new VEMap('myMap');
map.LoadMap();
map.GetRoute(From, To);
}

Note you need to add ", UK " to the postcode

added my code here

<html>

<head>

var map = null;

var clickEvent = null;

var zoomLevel = 3;

var From = "FromPostcode" + ", UK";

var To = "ToPostcode" + ", UK";

function GetMap()

{

map = new VEMap('myMap');

map.LoadMap();

map.SetZoomLevel(zoomLevel);

txtZoom.value = zoomLevel;

map.AttachEvent("onclick", GetLatLong);

latLong = map.GetCenter();

divInfo.innerHTML = latLong;

}

function GetLatLong(e)

{

//Get the pixel coordinates from the click event, convert to LatLong value

var x = e.mapX;

var y = e.mapY;

pixel = new VEPixel(x, y);

latLong = map.PixelToLatLong(pixel);

divInfo.innerHTML = latLong;

}

function SetCenterAndZoom()

{

map.SetCenterAndZoom(latLong, zoomLevel);

}

function SetCenter()

{

map.SetCenter(latLong);

}

function SetZoom()

{

map.SetZoomLevel(zoomLevel);

}

function ZoomIn()

{

//Increase zoom level by a factor of 1

map.ZoomIn();

txtZoom.value = map.GetZoomLevel();

}

function ZoomOut()

{

//Decrease zoom level by a factor of 1

map.ZoomOut();

txtZoom.value = map.GetZoomLevel();

}

function ValidateEntry()

{

//Check to make sure zoom level is within range

if (txtZoom.value > 0 && txtZoom.value <= 19) zoomLevel = txtZoom.value;

else alert("Enter a value between 1 and 19.");

}

// Dashboard hide & show calls

function HideDashboard()

{

map.HideDashboard();

}

function ShowDashboard()

{

map.ShowDashboard();

}

// 3D Navigation hide & show calls

function Hide3DNav()

{

map.Hide3DNavigationControl();

}

function Show3DNav()

{

if (map.GetMapMode() == 1)

{

map.SetMapMode(VEMapMode.Mode3D);

}

map.Show3DNavigationControl();

}

// Find Control hide & show calls

function HideFindControl()

{

map.HideFindControl();

}

function ShowFindControl()

{

map.ShowFindControl();

}

// Mini Map hide & show calls

function HideMiniMap()

{

map.HideMiniMap();

}

function ShowMiniMap()

{

if (map.GetMapMode() == 2)

{

map.SetMapMode(VEMapMode.Mode2D);

}

map.ShowMiniMap(200, 100);

}

function SetScaleBar(distanceUnit)

{

map.SetScaleBarDistanceUnit(distanceUnit);

}

function GetMap()

{

map = new VEMap('myMap');

map.LoadMap();

map.GetRoute(From, To);

}

</script>

</head>

Click the map to select a center point.<br />

Zoom Level: <input id="txtZoom" type="text" value="" onchange="ValidateEntry()"/><br />

<br />

</div>

</body>

</html>

var From = "FromPostcode" + ", UK";

var To = "ToPostcode" + ", UK";

Typically the From and To would be edit box values, within your web page.

The From value would be FromPostcode plus comma UK

To would be the same if going to another postcode. ie ToPostcode plus comma UK

The declared variables are only used to show the example values.

problem is -

map.GetRoute(From, To)

does not generate an input box

Hey chris do you just want to show the default search box that method is if you make your own. Try:

Code Snippet
       function GetMap()
         {  
            map = new VEMap('myMap');
            map.LoadMap();
            map.ShowFindControl();
         }
