Bear in mind that what you're asking for is "please change my GPS track data and make some of it up" I agree that that can sometimes be desireable for cosmetic reasons, but equally many folk won't want doctored and made-up data on their maps purporting to be a GPS track (which it isn't any more). As you say, implementing this yourself is quite feasible but could fall foul of Directions service limits and quotas. If Google were to implement the enhancement suggestion, the behind the scenes mechanism would have to be a very similar AJAX service - we might foresee Google applying limits to that use of their resources too, that would be reasonable for say a drawing tool given the speed of drawing by hand. 'Abusing' such a service by using it to _automatically_ prettify a GPS track log could then still fall foul of usage limits and not get you anywhere in the end. Just saying, be careful what you wish for. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
