It is something you can do on Google Maps, but its cleverness makes it difficult. I think it'd be pretty simple, it would just need Maps own intelligence turned off! <br />It'd be great to plan a circular route, mainly to give you the distance - especially for cycling. That is, a journey with the same start and end point, where you can plot points that Maps joins for you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10789889782913981562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-10270380127872201322011-09-02T13:06:02.455-07:002011-09-02T13:06:02.455-07:00I'd like to add the LatLng marker feature to m...I'd like to add the LatLng marker feature to maps I've mad with the Google Maps API.
