When I created an html file from the java script example and opened it in a browser I got the following:
Enter a flight ident to track:
Flight UAL423 from KDEN to KSFO
In the code it mentions it uses the google maps API.
Is this example supposed to show information on using google maps?
If not is there an example that queries flight paths on google maps.
Thank you.
That particular example is using the flight route decoding functionality, which only works for flights that have an origin and destination at a US airport. That flight is usually a good choice, but you can probably pick another Southwest flight from: flightaware.com/live/fleet/SWA
Are you using Internet Explorer? IE is not supported by that example due to cross-domain restrictions in it.
