My application allows a user to select two points on the map and find a route between them using the Directions Service of the Google maps Apiv3. Then the coordinates along this route has to be saved to the database. I could successfully write all the code to accomplish this. However I am left out with an issue.
I know that there are several other questions in StackOverflow- One, Two on the same, but I think surely either they or me has missed out something here.
Sample Code:
function getCoordinates(result) {
var currentRouteArray = result.routes[0]; //Returns a complex object containing the results of the current route
var currentRoute = currentRouteArray.overview_path; //Returns a simplified version of all the coordinates on the path
obj_newPolyline = new google.maps.Polyline({ map: map }); //a polyline just to verify my code is fetching the coordinates
var path = obj_newPolyline.getPath();
for (var x = 0; x < currentRoute.length; x++) {
var pos = new google.maps.LatLng(currentRoute[x].kb, currentRoute[x].lb)
latArray[x] = currentRoute[x].kb; //Returns the latitude
lngArray[x] = currentRoute[x].lb; //Returns the longitude
path.push(pos);
}
}
The above code works perfect except that the kb and lb properties of the overview path which seem to hold the lat and lng coordinates are not always the same. The last time I made the code, it was kb and lb for few days, and later it changed to mb, nb and today jb and kb.
I dont see any other properties in the object that can provide me the latlng's other than the above. Answers to other similar questions dint mention this issue. Am I missing something here? Any reliable solutions please.
