Well my aim is to use the data parsed from the map to calculate coverage areas, etc. I wont need an API for that. But for the actual parsing, i.e. i need some inbuilt method to return some data that will aid me in the calculation (like a distance matrix for example?). All i want from the API is - once the user has drawn the polygon representing the coverage area - for it to return numbers which i can then use (with my logic, not the APIs) to calculate optimum cell size, optimum tower placements, etc. I hope this makes it clearer?
