That makes it even worse... I was thinking of something like this (only one section of the road): http://www.geocodezip.com/example_geo2.asp?addr1=39.290153,-76.569171&addr2=39.290452,-76.56194&geocode=1&geocode=2 I guess you could do this: http://www.geocodezip.com/example_geo2.asp?walking=yes&addr1=39.289937,-76.576037&addr2=39.290452,-76.56194&geocode=1&geocode=2 But you would still need to to the other sections... -- Larry > > --http://econym.org.uk/gmap > The Blackpool Community Church Javascript Team --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
