Hi all,

I've been using the strategy of obtaining directions object with the
same origin and destination to obtain the location of the nearest
road. This is demonstrated for V2 by Mike Williams:
http://econym.org.uk/gmap/example_snap.htm.

My translation to V3 API was working until a couple of weeks ago, I
don't know which release version exactly.

See: http://eventengine-test.appspot.com/map_v3/1

Now in the results structure I find various latlngs but nothing which
seems to locate the street.

If I look, for example at
results.trips[0].routes[0].end_geocode.geometry. location_type is
ROOFTOP. The direction service seems to be essentially geocoding,
returning the nearest street address and the location of the rooftop
of the property.

Is this a deliberate shift in behaviour of the directions service? If
the origin and destination are sufficiently far apart then I do get
waypoints which I can mark on the map.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour or got any advice?

I have the V2 equivalents at:

http://eventengine-test.appspot.com/map_v2/1
http://eventengine-test.appspot.com/map_v2/2

PS, can you get the version number from the V3 API? Is there an
equivalent of G_API_VERSION?

Thanks,
James
