Resolve 'Parsing Error: Please check your selector. (line XX)' Javascript/AWQL

First off, let me say that I am not a developer, nor do I really code beyond basic HTML. So I appreciate your patience. :)
I'm working with a script that is for AdWords, but I believe it's more or less written in Javascript. (I've included the script below.)
Basically, I'm receiving the error message 'Parsing Error: Please check your selector. (line XX)' when I preview the script.
I've searched all around for hours and have yet to find a solution.
I think it may be that a query being returned contains either a single or double quote, and may be messing up the code? Though I can't actually prove that.
Also, yes, I was sure to update lines 17-21 with the correct details.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

The area between SELECT and FROM is the selector. You're not selecting any fields with that query. That's happening because the headerNames array is empty. Verify the value of REPORT_SHEET_NAME

if..else statement in Google Distance Matrix results

I'm using Google Distance Matrix API to calculate the driving distance + time from one point to another.
I would like to add if..elseif..else statements to the result of the distance search to vary the answers according to how big the distances (e.g. < or > 10 km) are but I'm a newbie to JS and can't seem to figure out where to stick the statements into my code. Any tips?
Here's my code:
$(function(){
function calculateDistance(origin, destination) {
var service = new google.maps.DistanceMatrixService();
service.getDistanceMatrix(
{
origins: [origin],
destinations: [destination],
travelMode: google.maps.TravelMode.DRIVING,
unitSystem: google.maps.UnitSystem.METRIC,
avoidHighways: false,
avoidTolls: false
}, callback);
}
function callback(response, status) {
if (status != google.maps.DistanceMatrixStatus.OK) {
$('#result').html(err);
} else {
var origin = response.originAddresses[0];
var destination = response.destinationAddresses[0];
if (response.rows[0].elements[0].status === "ZERO_RESULTS") {
$('#result').html("We can't seem to find "
+ origin + ". Are you sure you entered a valid postcode and place?");
} else {
var distance = response.rows[0].elements[0].distance;
var duration = response.rows[0].elements[0].duration;
var distance_value = distance.value;
var distance_text = distance.text;
var duration_value = duration.value;
var duration_text = duration.text;
var kilometer = distance_text.substring(0, distance_text.length - 3);
$('#result').html("It is " + kilometer + " kilometer from " + origin + " to " + destination + " and it takes " + duration_text + " to drive.");
}
}
}
$('#distance_form').submit(function(e){
event.preventDefault();
var origin = $('#origin').val();
var destination = $('#destination').val();
var distance_text = calculateDistance(origin, destination);
});
});

One option is to have the conditional logic in your callback function like this:
function callback(response, status) {
if (status !== google.maps.DistanceMatrixStatus.OK) {
$('#result').html(err);
return;
}
if (response.rows[0].elements[0].status !== "OK") {
$('#result').html("We can't seem to find " + origin + ". Are you sure you entered a valid postcode and place?");
return;
}
var origin = response.originAddresses[0];
var destination = response.destinationAddresses[0];
var distance = response.rows[0].elements[0].distance;
var duration = response.rows[0].elements[0].duration;
var distance_value = distance.value;
var distance_text = distance.text;
var duration_value = duration.value;
var duration_text = duration.text;
var kilometer = distance_text.substring(0, distance_text.length - 3);
if (distance_value > 10000) {
$('#result').html('Distance is greater than 10km');
} else {
$('#result').html('Distance is less than 10km');
}
}
The response validation is done at the beginning of the function and if the request does not return the desired status, you return early and stop the execution of the function. Once these validation statements are out of the way, you can extract all the necessary data from the response and then perform your conditional statements based on any of the values you extracted.
In my example, this is what that looks like:
if (distance_value > 10000) {
$('#result').html('Distance is greater than 10km');
} else {
$('#result').html('Distance is less than 10km');
}
I check to see if the distance value is greater than 10000m (10km) and display a different result based on that.
Here is a JSBin with a working example.

Location and weather based image search API for weather app

I am making a basic web-based weather app, which detects the current weather conditions in the user's location. My current code so far does work, but is missing an important feature - I want the background of the web page to change according to the user's location and weather conditions. For instance - if a user is in New York and the weather is sunny, I would like to display any New York based popular image(ex: Times Square) along with sunny skies as the body background. I've searched several APIs but haven't found any that meets my needs.
In my current code, I'm using IPInfo.io to get the user's location and OpenWeatherMap to get the weather conditions.
This pen has my code (NOTE - code for units hasn't been added yet), and here's the JS bit -
var lat = 0.0,
lon = 0.0;
var testURL = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=35&lon=139&appid=2de143494c0b295cca9337e1e96b00e0';
var myURL = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=' + lat + '&lon=' + lon + '&appid="ae0acb60e8db4952e081c2fb470a1b23"';
var city = '',
state = '',
country = '',
postal = 0;
//if (navigator.geolocation) {
// /* geolocation is available */
// navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function (position) {
// lat = position.coords.latitude;
// lon = position.coords.longitude;
// console.log("Latitude = " + lat);
// console.log("Longitude = " + lon);
//
// display(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude);
// });
//
//} else {
// /* geolocation IS NOT available */
// $("#jumbotron").html("geolocation not available");
//
//}
//get co-ordinates using ipinfo.io
$.getJSON('http://ipinfo.io', function (data) {
console.log(data);
var loc = data.loc;
lat = loc.split(",")[0];
lon = loc.split(",")[1];
display(lat, lon);
city = data.city;
state = data.region;
country = data.country;
postal = parseInt(data.postal, 10);
})
function display(x, y) {
$("#pos1").html("<b>" + x + "</b>");
$("#pos2").html("<b>" + y + "</b>");
}
//function to calculate wind direction from degrees
function degToCompass(num) {
//num = parseInt(num, 10);
console.log("Inside degtocompass = " + num);
var val = Math.floor((num / 22.5) + 0.5);
var arr = ["N", "NNE", "NE", "ENE", "E", "ESE", "SE", "SSE", "S", "SSW", "SW", "WSW", "W", "WNW", "NW", "NNW"];
return arr[(val % 16)];
}
//function to return current temperature
function convertTemp(currTemp) {
//get celsius from kelvin
return Math.round(currTemp - 273.15);
}
$("button").click(function () {
console.log("In Latitude = " + lat);
console.log("In Longitude = " + lon);
//prepare api call
$.ajax({
url: 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=' + lat + '&lon=' + lon + '&appid=ae0acb60e8db4952e081c2fb470a1b23',
//url: testURL,
type: 'GET', // The HTTP Method, can be GET POST PUT DELETE etc
data: {}, // Additional parameters here
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
//---------get the clipart---------------
var picLink = 'http://openweathermap.org/img/w/';
var picName = data.weather[0].icon;
picLink += picName + ".png";
$("#picture").empty().append('<img src="' + picLink + '">');
//----------get the temperature-----------
var curTemp = convertTemp(data.main.temp);
console.log("Current temp = " + curTemp);
//$("#temp").empty().append("<b>" + curTemp + "</b>");
$("#picture").append("<b>" + curTemp + "</b>");
//----------get the place----------------------
var area = city + ", " + state + ", " + country;
$("#area").empty().append("<b>" + area + "</b>");
//----------get weather conditions------------
$("#conditions").empty().append("<b>" + data.weather[0].description + "</b>");
//----------get wind speed------------
//get wind direction
var windSpeed = degToCompass(data.wind.deg);
//add wind speed
windSpeed += ' ' + data.wind.speed;
//display wind speed
$("#wind-speed").empty().append("<b>" + windSpeed + "</b>");
},
error: function (err) {
alert(err);
},
beforeSend: function (xhr) {
//xhr.setRequestHeader("X-Mashape-Authorization", "32ROUuaq9wmshfk8uIxfd5dMc6H7p1lqdZSjsnXkB5bQtBteLK"); // Enter here your Mashape key
}
});
});

Well... First of all there is no need to use WebServices, but you can't do it without any API. As I can see you use openweathermap API . As far as I know this API returns both longitude and latitude, so you can use these values as input to another request to a photo API (like flickr) to get the image you want. Moreover openweathermap API returns city name which can make your photo request even more accurate.

Why markers do not move correcly on map

my question is why whene this function is executed (updating locations) just fisrt vehicle on map is moved correctly, the ohers are updated (title, icon ...) but do not move?
I noticed that , they move and return to their old location quickly.
Thanks for any suggestion.

finaly i found problem, it was here:
var marker = new MarkerWithLabel({......});
arrayMarker[id_map] = marker; //put marker in arrayMarker at indexMarker position
the bug occur whene i filled my arrayMarker using MarkerWithLabel (3th lib)
whene changed to native google.maps.Marker it work correcly:
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({......});
arrayMarker[id_map] = marker;

Multiple direction requests take more time after multiple calls

Let's say you have a map to display KmlLayer objects on it, with toggle checkbox for each KmlLayer object, located in a panel.
var Province = new google.maps.LatLng(47.112754, -70.815223);
var map = new google.maps.Map( document.getElementById('map'), {zoom:7,center:Province} );
And you store in KML files a limited number of routes, to optimize the speed of the map.
Direction's requests are made using Google Maps API v3.
And let's say you have a page containing a Google Map in a hidden div, and you make Direction requests through this API.
The array 'waypoints' holds the coordinates of each start and end point of each polyline needed.
var geo_coords = ''; // holds the results
var y; // counter
var delay_per_request = 1000; // default delay in milliseconds between requests
var current_delay = delay_per_request; // current delay between requests
function calcRoute(start,end) {
setTimeout(function(){
var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();
var request = {
origin: start,
destination: end,
travelMode: google.maps.TravelMode.DRIVING
};
directionsService.route(request, function(response, status) {
// Error?
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OVER_QUERY_LIMIT) {
document.getElementById('error_text').innerHTML += "<br>" + start + "/" + end
+ "("+status+") :: Interval:"+current_delay+"ms";
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
if (current_delay < 2600) {
current_delay += 200;
}
if (current_delay >= 1600) {
delay_per_request = 1600;
}
retry++;
if (retry < 20) {
calcRoute(start,end);
} else {
document.getElementById('error_text').innerHTML += "<br>The script stopped running after "+retry+" retries"
+ " sur " + start + "/" + end + "("+status+") :: Interval:"+current_delay+"ms";
}
// Positive result?
} else if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
var myRoute = response.routes[0].overview_path;
for (i in myRoute) {
if (myRoute[i] != undefined) {
geo_coords += myRoute[i].lat() + "," + myRoute[i].lng() + "_";
}
}
geo_coords += "!";
document.getElementById('error_text').innerHTML += "<br><font color=\"green\">" + start + "/" + end
+ "("+status+") :: Interval:"+current_delay+"ms</font>";
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
current_delay = delay_per_request;
retry = 0;
Next();
}
});
},current_delay);
}
function Next() {
if (y <= waypoints.length) {
destination = "from:" + waypoints[y] + " to:" + waypoints[y + 1];
geo_desc += description[y] + " => " + description[y+1] + "|";
calcRoute(waypoints[y],waypoints[y+1]);
y = y +2;
} else {
document.getElementById("information").setAttribute('value',geo_coords);
document.getElementById("show_debug_text").setAttribute('value',geo_desc);
document.getElementById("error").setAttribute('value',document.getElementById('error_text').innerHTML);
document.forms["kml"].submit();
}
}
Next();
My question is the following:
Has anyone noticed that Google lower the priority of your requests after you made some request in batch?
The more request you do, the bigger is the number of OVER_QUERY_LIMIT response you get, the bigger is the delay between requests before you have a successful result, and the bigger is the number of requests before you have a successful result.
Is there any workaround or any reason?
(I know I should use the Direction API Webservice to make my requests.)
Thank you!
