Yes, unfortunately it needs to load script files from Google Maps before it can continue running and start the widget. I'm sure there's a method for dynamically loading scripts once the widget is loaded, but it may have unintended side effects, so it may be a while before I can implement it.
What kind of format should the data have, that you need for other countries? Germany is difficult, because the services that covers the complete country often not free.
I potentially have US data, via Yahoo! - but it's in a different format so I have to build a different parsing module for it. But I'm sure it will happen when I find the time.
@johnnysaucepn If you could find travel data for the US then I'm sure it would instantly become a popular widget. I love the widget design..too bad I can't really use it for directions tho..since I'm not in the UK and all, haha.
Dava - Because the various optional parts of the display are dependent on each other, it wasn't possible to separate the data onto individual drawers like touchtheSky.
So I stuck with one single panel, rather than confuse things and have people expect it to work the same.
Glad you all like it, though!
Evo2Me, I'd love to have more international options - any idea where I could get travel data for Germany?
This widget will search for the best route to visit a list of locations. http://widgets.opera.com/widget/8821/
