Getting Directions From Google Maps (on Form Submit) - Apps Script | Maps Service ~ Episode 14.2
Hey Coders! Creating static maps is a fantastic tool in your Apps Script toolbelt, but unless you're Christopher Columbus or Marco Polo, you'll likely need help interpreting that map and getting directions. Luckily, Maps Service has available methods for just that. You can overlay a path along the static map you just made outlining the directions and/or print out in plain text the route and turns you'll need to take to get to your destination. In this video, we'll hook up an onFormSubmit trigger to fire a function that sends a receipt email with the map and directions of a party to the Form's respondent. Watch the entire video to learn how!
