That is similar to what I want, but I don't need the directions. These segments are simply parts of a single road. I'm trying to highlight different blocks of the road within the city. Some roads may be highlighted up to 20 blocks long while others may only be a single city block.
Is there a way I could use GDirections, then extract the polyline coordinates that were drawn from GDirections and save that to a variable? I could then save that to the database and load that line to a map as needed?
