Thanks for your answer, GPS Breadcrumbing seems to be really interesting but unfortunatelly that's not what I'm working on.
The key to my project is to compare every point of a route (maybe all points of the showed Google Maps API Polyline) and its GPS data to a certain fixed location. That means that I could ask for route information between to cities and then calculate the distance to my actual location (GPS date from smartphone) at every point of the route (that way I know where the best place to meet/join). Unfortunatelly I have problems getting the GPS-data from Google Maps API ! Can you/anybody help me? Thanks a lot !!
