One approach is Dijkstra's algorithm ( see the Wikipedia entry at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijkstra%27s_algorithm for general information. The 'External Links' section of that article gives you reference to various route finding implementations in various languages, and even some interactive web applets that demonstrate the principles. Most have source code available. See http://www.pantologi.com/DijkstraRoutingScreenshot.jpg which was produced from http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/people/JamesStewart/270/9798s/Laffra/DijkstraApplet.html A manual process produces the node list from points digitized in the Google Maps 'MyMaps" saved as KML using the "View in Google Earth" function. > Something like we can do with googlemaps, but i would like to do with custom > maps. Is it possible to do this with the google API? Google Maps might assist you you in displaying the results, but using it to extract your base node list from geocoded address for example is most likely a violation of the TOS. The exception would be if you used the map display simply as a background digitizing your own points (although IANAL :-) Michael P. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
