Highlighting whole street with some maps API
bing-maps, google-maps, javascript, maps
Solution
You may want to check Mike Williams' article on how to snap points and polylines to streets with the Google Maps API:
- Snap points (and polylines) to street
Especially this example:
- Click on the map and a path will be drawn that follows the streets.
Problem
Is there any way to highlight/display on Google/Bing/(any other map provider) Maps whole street (from the beginning of the street to the end of)? I know the existence of Polyline in Google Maps API, but it's just connecting two latitude points, and there is no way of making it automatic so I could display any street in some city. Also I was thinking about Directions, but many street are 2 way, there is no guarante that you will mark whole street and it's just now user friendly. Example
