Kernja, Here's a possible option, but it uses ajax on the client side, rather than a direct interface to GAE:
Use the Google Maps API with ajax? http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#Directions It looks like you can access the polyline data fairly easily. This would involve you doing three ajax transactions: Get the client to access the polyline data, pass it back to your app, return the points of interest? Just a thought, although I admit that it lacks elegance.
