st: RE: traveltime, error in Stata 12

Lucas,

Try -traveltime3- which is an updated version of this module that (I believe) overcomes the error you are getting.

Subject: st: traveltime, error in Stata 12

I'm getting an error when running the user written "traveltime"
function, which is a wrapper for the googleMaps API. This code
replicates the error:

clear
ssc install traveltime, replace
input ///
X_start Y_start X_end Y_end
-60.670533 2.816682 -61.314022 2.993823
-60.670533 2.816682 -59.878007 3.350289
end
traveltime, start_x(X_start) start_y(Y_start) end_x(X_end)
end_y(Y_end) mode(1) km

I get the error:

"

not found
server says file temporarily redirected to

> -61.31402206420898&dirflg=
"

I'm assuming this error should be because of the "httpS" protocol, not
supported in stata 12, but supported in stata 13. Correct? Could
someone test if the snippet of code above works on stata 13?

any workarounds (apart from upgrading to Stata 13, which is becoming
more and more urgent...)?
