Thanks for the reply, I might look at doing this, but I agree in that it's a long way to go for custom markers.
Hopefully something gets added to API 3 like in API 2 for this. A solution to use already existing marker classes would be nice (e.g. if the company logo was used already for map markers, it could just be reused for the "end" point etc - thus trying to keep file size and speed down) Thanks again On Nov 14, 4:49 am, diymapper <[email protected]> wrote: > Encoded polyline points are included in the directions results object > (with DirectionsStep: ..steps[x].polyline.points), but this is not > documented. > > So, get the encoded polyline points, decode the latlngs from them, > create an array, and use that to place a polyline on the map. > > Then, you just add your own markers to the beginning and end points. > > I've done this in a test map and it works fairly well, but I'm hoping > they just make the route polyline available like in V2 (or maybe just > an option to hide end markers?) so I can skip all this. > > For the directions panel, you could use the directions results data to > create your own table.
