Actually, GDirections would be a good place to start for plotting bus routes. Where the busses follow the Google route, it saves you entering lots of detail, particularly on twisty bits of road.
Once you've got a reasonable approximation to the bus route that way, you can grab the polyline with .getPolyline() and call poly.enableEditing() on it to make the final adjustments. When you're happy with the line, loop along it with poly.getVertex() to read the points, then either GDownLoadUrl() the list of vertices to your server, or display them as text in another div on the screen where you can copy and paste them into a data file. The same sort of thing could also be used to attempt to capture cycle routes. Use the walk and/or avoid highways feature. A completely different approach would be to ride the bus while carrying a GPS device. Export the GPS track to your PC, convert from GPS format to lat/lng, and run it through a simplification process. -- http://econym.googlepages.com/index.htm The Blackpool Community Church Javascript Team --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
