Google Maps- Get Directions not working properly

[PeteC12]

Hello All,

We have added a "Get directions" for google Maps on our website for each of our depots.  It works correctly on the latest version of google maps if we just put in our company name , postcode.

However if users are using an older version of google maps, it doesn't work so well ,and brings up a massive list of companies in the same vicinity.  If we put in our whole address, it's hit and miss if it finds it okay and brings up a list of companies as well.  I have some other companies just use long/latitude but I that isn't so accurate in some cases either especially when the depots are on business parks.

I am wondering if others have found this problem and whether its possible to check what version of google maps the user has say on their mobile etc before choosing which code to run ?

Any thoughts ?  I can't find anything to help us to code this.

thanks

Peter

Hi Pete,

I'm sorry, but I'm not aware of a way to detect which version of Maps a user is using. Perhaps one of our community members will have experimented with this? If you don't get feedback on this here, I would recommend taking this conundrum to the Google Mapmaker forum: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/map-maker

But I do hope you'll get further feedback from the community here.
