Both my old patch and the current svn head worked in a simple test, producing valid and useful gpx. I will have to research what my patch was doing, I seem to recall it was some end case that I didn't always run into. The google output=js format looks alive and useful to me, I would like to keep the present functionality. > 1226 wget -O test.js > 'http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=boulder,co&daddr=ward,co&hl=en&sll=38.997934,-105.550567&sspn=4.96842,11.535645&geocode=FYqUYgId7rK5-SnTr40nTo1rhzFYgBugfDs5yA%3BFRB0YwIdFBK2-Sl_2wWdTdtrhzH8DveOBQELaw&mra=ls&t=m&z=12&output=js' > > 1229 gpsbabel -i google -f test.js -o gpx -F test.gpx > 1230 view test.gpx > 1231 StevesDOMCount -v=always -n -s -f -sc=$HOME/schema -slp=gpx > test.gpx > Using schmeaLocation: "http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1 > /home/tsteven4/schema/gpx/gpx11.xsd > http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/GpxExtensions/v3 > /home/tsteven4/schema/gpx/GpxExtensionsv3.xsd > http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 /home/tsteven4/schema/gpx/gpx10.xsd" > test.gpx: 31 ms (736 elems). > On 12/30/2012 3:42 PM, Guilhem Bonnefille wrote: > Hi, > > After playing some time on this topic, I'm not sure what I have to do. > > I have a initial working code for the new Google Directions API. > But I discovered that the old one still work: at least the result of a > query ending with &output=js is still parsed successfully.
