Hi I'd guess that if you are rendering the results to the map yourself, that you can't then use DirectionsRenderer to get to routes.
I presume you are getting the results object and either using the overview_path or going through the legs, steps etc to build the polyline, In that case you *can* use the result object which has an array of the routes (as long as the DirectionsRequest has provideRouteAlternatives set to true) if your DirectionsRequest result is called directionsResult, then you just ask for the routes like directionsResult.routes[n] where n is the index for one of the routes. To get your basic polyline path for route number 2: directionsResult.routes[1].overview_path Does that help? ...stu On Sep 21, 2:52 pm, bmcf <brian.mcf...@gmail.com> wrote: > I should have made it clear that I am not using the .setPanel method > on the DirectionsRenderer, I am trying to handle the display of > directions with my own function. > > On Sep 20, 2:31 am, bmcf <brian.mcf...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I would like to have the map show alternate routes on demand.
