So I have existing code that allows a user to plot a polyline. Now what I would like to do is catch the mouse over the polyline event and open a infowindow.
All seems ok so far as I have seen that the API supports this event. However in the infoWindow I'd like to show their distance along the polyline relative to the start position of the polyline. So if the polyline is 10kms long and they move the mouse over the polyline at the halfway point then in the infoWindow it will show 5km, and as I move my mouse along the polyline the infoWindow will also move updating the mouses distance on the polyline from the start. Now I have been looking over the api and I don't really see a clear cut way of doing this apart from some hack job. My main problem it seems is that the position that the mouse is at on the polyline may not have a vertex under it (ie the mouse is in the middle of a long straight in the polyline between 2 points). Sure I could stop at the vertex before or after the mouse position but accuracy is important. Is there anything in the api to help me with this that I am missing?? I would really appreciate some suggestions before I tackle this problem.
