However, if you were asking that because you thought that it might be a usable strategy for a ride sharing application, forget it.
For a ride sharing application, what you should be looking at is how much longer it takes to drive the route A-C-D-B than it does to drive the route A-B. If you've got a large number of potential ride sharers, you might not want to test all possible A-C-D-B routes because that would require a large number of GDirections calls, so you could use Bill Chadwick's distance to polygon code to discard situations where C and/or D is a long distance from the A-B polyline. -- Mike Williams http://econym.org.uk/gmap -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
