Help with Mapquest API: Geocodes ignored, Kansas used instead

Hello,

I am trying to get driving directions between two Canadian locations.

The problem is, no matter what I put for the Latitude / Longitude of the destination, it always maps to Kansas!

What is wrong and how can I fix this?

Thanks!

PS.... You will have to upload this to a server to test it because MapQuest requires that it be accessed via http://

your code wont work for anyone cos the url is http://web.openapi.mapquest.com/oapi/tra... and I assume u need to have a key

Regarding setting destination, just a thought, try create another variable, does it make any difference?

eg
var myLocDest = new MQLocation();
myLocDest.setLatitude('45.4237332');
myLocDest.setLongitude('-75.676332');
myRoute.dest = myLocDest;

hopefully it will find Ottawa or something

Had a quick look in mapquest, it seems u need to set

myRoute.destination

and not myRoute.dest

I could be mistaken as I dont have that sdk
