So let me explain my situation here. I've been slowly reading up on the API system for google maps for a small pet project I've had in mind for the past couple weeks and trying to determine how feasible it is to do.
My mom currently works as a head start bus driver and has large routes with strict schedules and regularly changing child rosters. Bad part is, they are also starting to require that they be picked up on the right side of the road and not cross the street. Before this requirement, your everyday mapping application like MS Streets & Trips would have covered it. But with this requirement, there's nothing out there currently that can readily differentiate between which side of the road an address is on. What my idea is is to take the current google maps system, routing functionality and all, and deviate it just enough that it'll only allow you to hit a waypoint if it is on the right side of the street and then optimize the overall route on that criteria. Input data is not crucial, but it'd be an extra perk to accept excel files and use data in a set column and range of rows as an address list as I already have an excel template for this distributed in the transportation department that is already widely used and pretty uniform. Any ideas if the actual address/mapping data used by google is detailed enough to allow this? IE: It can actually tell which side of the road an address is on? Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
