Prepare route points

To draw polygons on Google Maps we need to pass an array of route points. To do that we can import .tcx file and use route-parser CLI to parse it.

First ensure map-countdown is installed. Next you have to download workout in .tcx format. The most popular sport tracking app are supported:
1. Endomondo - Instructions
2. Polar - Instructions
3. Garmin - Instructions
After download open a terminal in your project's directory and run:

route-importer ~/Downloads/training-file.tcx routePoints.js

route-importer will parse TCX file and save it with given name.

Prepare Google Maps API Key

Google Maps need an api key for working. If you don't have a key already, don't worry. You can create new one below: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/get-api-key Replace 'GOOGLE_API_KEY' from chosen snippet below with your api key.

Add MapCountdown

With module bundler

import MapCountdown from 'map-countdown'
import './../path/to/routePoints'

new Countdown({
    selector: '#countdown',
    key: 'GOOGLE_API_KEY',
    meta: '2019-07-13 11:30:00'
})

In browser

You have to include routePoints.js along with MapCountdown, which load those points automatically. Next, add container for countdown (ie. #countdown).

        window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
            new MapCountdown({
                selector: '#countdown',
                key: 'GOOGLE_API_KEY',
                meta: '2019-07-13 11:30:00',
            })
        })
    </script>
    <body>

        <div id="countdown"></div>

    </body>
