You may want to find the 4 or 5 closest points, then refine using driving distances (if the extra time is worth it) > There is a procedure to place the marker in an array, if they are > already placed into the map? To do it in the API you would probably need to export your markers from MyMaps as KML then use one of the third party parsers (EGeoXml or GeoXml) which exposes the array of markers. > Also, distanceFrom works only with GLatLng class?
