Add Markers Along a Route

Question

I am trying to create several markers along a route from google maps directions. I have already looked into waypoints as an option but based on my understanding of the docum

Answer 1

As Andrew told waypoints wouldn't do it.

You don't have predefined points for the route (like the example), so what you can do is:

A direction consists of points defined by route->overview_path, what defines the polyline for the route.

So you may walk this path, calculate the distance between two path-points using google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween() and create the marker when the desired distance has been reached.

Here is an implementation of the suggestion: http://jsfiddle.net/doktormolle/eNzFb/
