I am trying to do some work with google maps and auto-complete . I have taken the google distance script and trying to integrate the autocomplete of google with it. The distance calculation and Routes Direction are working fine. But i failed for the autocomplete in start and end input field . If i manually type the location in both end and start field, it works, but no auto complete of google works.

    Change 

         <script type="text/javascript"
     src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>

    To

    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&libraries=places"></script>

    After

    map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'),
        mapOptions);

    Add

        //Find From location    
    var fromText = document.getElementById('start');
    var fromAuto = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(fromText);
    fromAuto.bindTo('bounds', map);
    //Find To location
    var toText = document.getElementById('end');
    var toAuto = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(toText);
    toAuto.bindTo('bounds', map);
    //
