Thank you to Federico and William for your replies. However, Federico, I think you have misunderstood my principal question. The Directions Service returns a DirectionsResult object. Within the DirectionsResult object we have an array of DirectionsRoute objects, normally just one. This DirectionsRoute object holds an array of DirectionsLeg objects, in turn holds an array of DirectionsStep objects.
It is this DirectionsStep object that I was referring to. If you describe a direct line between the start and end points the actual route will advance along each side within a certain distance. My question relates to this fluctuation - 1. Is there a rule to determine the maximum distance from this straight line and 2. what rule is applied to determine this DirectionsStep segment. Concerning your suggestion, William, the RouteBoxer is inappropriate as it gives an extremely rough sizing which in no way matches my needs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
