Getting error while accessing the Microsoft.Maps.Location in JavaScript

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I am looking into to get the distance between locations (using Bing Map) in Javascript but getting the error "Cannot read property 'Location' of undefined" error.

The Microsoft.Maps.Location method causing issue. Can anyone help how to fix this issue?

 

Below is my JavaScript code:  

function distanceCalculation(executionContext) {
var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

var hLatitude = "17.38405";
var hLongitude = "78.45636";

var bLatitude = "12.971599";
var bLongitude = "77.594566";

getDistanceBetweenLocations(new Microsoft.Maps.Location(hLatitude, hLongitude), new Microsoft.Maps.Location(bLatitude, bLongitude));

}


// Calculate distance between two locations.
function getDistanceBetweenLocations(Location1, Location2) {
Microsoft.Maps.loadModule('Microsoft.Maps.SpatialMath', function () {
var vDistance = Microsoft.Maps.SpatialMath.getDistanceTo(Location1, Location2, Microsoft.Maps.SpatialMath.DistanceUnits.Miles);
alert("Distance in Miles : " + vDistance);
});
}

Thanks,

Naveen

    Naveen,

    You will have to load that file "on the fly". Here are few possible ways - stackoverflow.com/.../ways-to-add-javascript-files-dynamically-in-a-page

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Yes, I am trying to use the Bing Map API to achieve this functionality.

    Actually I am referring to the below sample JS code to achieve this. As per my requirement I am implementing this functionality In JS not in HTML.

    I am not sure how I can reference the the below Bing Map API in JS library (Field Onchange event), so that I am getting this error.

    Could you please help how I can refer this API URL in JS library?

    src='www.bing.com/.../mapcontrol async defer

    Thanks,

    Naveen

    Hello,

    As far as I understood you want to use Bing Maps Services for calculation of the distance. Did you include the corresponding modules in order to use them in your code? I assume you have not.
