The way I read his question sounds like the "stopover" flag in the DirectionsWaypoint: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#DirectionsWaypoint There is also the optimize waypoints option: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#DirectionsRequest optimizeWaypoints boolean If set to true, the DirectionService will attempt to re-order the supplied intermediate waypoints to minimize overall cost of the route. If waypoints are optimized, inspect DirectionsRoute.waypoint_order in the response to determine the new ordering. -- Larry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
