Hi, I'm working on a Google Maps App that will attempt to create directions between any two points in the world. I'd like it to do actual turn-by-turn directions where-ever possible (e.g. US/Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan, etc.) and simply draw straight point to point lines if the starting and ending point don't reside in the same directions-supporting region.
To that end, I'm wondering if Google, or anyone else, has created the complete polygons that define each of the contiguous regions that support turn-by-turn directions (full list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Maps#Directions)? Or alternatively, is there a way to generate such polygons? I can use something like http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=Europe to get the overall region bounding box, however, this call returns a simple rectangular bounding box, while I want a mapping that precisely maps the region's borders, and excludes any contained subregions that do not support directions (e.g. most of Europe supports directions, however, a number of countries do not, including Romania, Macedonia, Albania, etc.) Thanks!
