Route from a fixed origin

Show driving directions and travel time from a chosen origin (usually the property) to whichever POI the visitor clicks.

What it does

When a visitor clicks a POI, the map draws the route from the configured origin to that POI and shows the travel time in the info window. Without this option, clicking a POI shows only its name and category.

It also enables the travel-time columns on the Summary plugin (distance + duration to the nearest places of each category).

Enable on the JavaScript Map plugin

Add a routeFrom object to your yatmoConfig:

yatmoConfig = {
    licenseKey: '...',
    language: 'EN',
    container: 'map',
    center: [4.3442926, 50.8510525],
    zoom: 16,
    routeFrom: {
        latitude: 50.8510525,
        longitude: 4.3442926
    }
};

Enable on the iframe map

With the current iframe, plugin.html, add routeFrom=1 (or left / right to choose the panel's side, or popup for the travel times only, see below). Routes are then measured from the property itself, the latitude / longitude of the map:

<iframe width="100%" height="500" style="border:0"
  src="https://map.yatmo.com/plugin.html?licenseKey=YOUR_FRONTEND_KEY&country=BE&language=en&latitude=50.846714&longitude=4.352514&zoom=16&routeFrom=1"></iframe>

The older iframe.html is still served and accepts routeFromLatitude and routeFromLongitude for an origin different from the property. plugin.html does not take a separate origin: if you need one, use the JavaScript plugin's routeFrom object above, which does.

Travel times only, without the address field

By default the option also adds a small panel where the visitor can type any address to get a route from the property. To keep only the travel times shown when a POI is clicked, without that panel:

• on the iframe, use routeFrom=popup;
• on the JavaScript plugin, add hideRouteFrom: true next to the routeFrom object.

<iframe width="100%" height="500" style="border:0"
  src="https://map.yatmo.com/plugin.html?licenseKey=YOUR_FRONTEND_KEY&country=BE&language=en&latitude=50.846714&longitude=4.352514&zoom=16&routeFrom=popup"></iframe>

Notes

The origin doesn’t have to be the property itself — you can route from a transport hub, a city centre, or any fixed point. Useful for “how far from the airport?” kinds of pages.

For routes between arbitrary points (not anchored to a fixed origin), call the Route API directly.
