Would there be a way to display an arrow on the polyline to make this
direction clear? For example, after a polyline is set with the 2
markers, the polyline will display without the markers and the
original A->B implication of the markers won't be there.

Can you expand a tad on this? What I'm trying to do is draw 2
polylines, one for each direction on the road. For example, a
northbound and southbound direction polyline.

I just went through the whole Terms of Service and could not find much
on this. The closest I found was this:

[You may NOT...]"10.6 use the Service in a manner that gives you or
any other person access to mass downloads or bulk feeds of any
Content, including but not limited to numerical latitude or longitude
coordinates, imagery, and visible map data;"

Would this apply to my website saving a route/polyline input by a
user?

What type of database storage would you recommend? XML? What's the
easiest way that the GM API can send out values to save to a database?

Thanks again!!
