This is part 3 of a series of tutorial for the googleDirections plugin.
When displaying Google directions, you need to specify which transportation mode to use. The following travel modes are currently supported by Google:
DRIVINGindicates standard driving directions using the road network.WALKINGrequests walking directions via pedestrian paths & sidewalks (where available).- BICYCLING requests bicycling directions via bicycle paths & preferred streets (currently only available in the US).
If you do not specify any travel mode, the default used is DRIVING.

In my country the "By bus" travel mode is not available and it seems that it will take years before the transportation companies arrange something with google to add it. The reason why I am writing is because I want to ask you if there is a way of adding the routes by myself and use your extension to show directions with the "Custom Route" (regarding buses routes of my city). If it is possible could you tell how to make it possible, maybe a specific manual of "how to" using your app or an app customization applies. I know that this is not exactly what you offer with this extension, but I'm sure you have the expertise to do that and since the app accepts Google API v3 it should be possible. I'm open to receive a quotation and evaluate if I can afford it or donate (of course I'm an individual, not big money in the pocket, just wanting to make something good for my city).
Thank you!
Great plugin! s there any way to hide the travel mode drop down?
As long as it's supported by the Google Maps API, you can do it.
You actually have the complete source code in the Joomla - plugins - content directory. Once you have found out which API to use, you can then add in the code to the source code.
Warm Regards,
