It's certainly feasible, but would need a database (to store waypoint readings as progress is made along the route). You would need to be something of a programmer, or employ someone who is -- that is, someone who is something of a programmer, not necessarily someone who is a top-notch coder. I suspect the hardest part would be uploading current position to the database, although location-aware mobile phones would probably make that easier. Being "willing to give it a go with guidance" may be ok. But you need to start with Version 3 (not Version 2, the subject of this Group); and you will need to give it a go! A disadvantage is that StackOverflow is now used for Version 3 technical support, and that does not lend itself to the sort of support/guidance I think you will need. It would be worth asking the same question in the Version 3 Group which is still available for chat: it's referenced at the bottom of this page... http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/forum.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
