Thanks Larry - That is kind of along the lines of what I was thinking. However my end goal would be able to create a Polygon that covers a curved section of roads out in the middle of nowhere.
Example: http://www.visualhunting.com/TurkeyGreenRidge.aspx I was hoping to be able to select 3 or 4 roads that intersect and color in the defined region as an "area of interest". This could be done with a whole bunch of LatLng's and a Polygon, but this is not really scalable if I want to color code 100+'s regions on a map. :( Thanks again for your insight.
