Dean, Some of these question would better be directed to the JS API group: http://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-js-api-v3/
(I cc'd the group into this message) I'm an absolute newby to this, but have extensive GIS background, so I know > the principles behind this. Keep that in mind when you might respond with > those really technical comments... Background: I'm looking to build a site where users can log a path using directions, > similar to what you'd have in maps.google.com and then also have the > ability to add waypoints from coordinates. After that they may be able to > adjust these routes and then save them to the site. > Questions: Is there a way to convert the directions to a polyline they can manipulate > on the map and add waypoints? Did you see DirectionsRenderer draggable option? Does this suit? To get the polyline from directions, did you see DirectionsRoute.overview_path and DirectionsStep.path? > Is there a way they can pull in KML files from Google Earth? Pull in to do what exactly? KML can be displayed on a map with the KmlLayer class. How do I store these data? Obviously, when I start getting loads of routes > and waypoints in, the data might get a too much to store on the site > itself. I'm planning to use links to other sites for all other data related > to the routes though. You could try FusionTables, our preferred spatial data store: http://tables.googlelabs.com/ For reference to all of the above, check: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html Cheers Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
