If you are calculating and plotting real-time train locations, you don't need any kind of polyline animation as such. You just plot the trains, and recalculate and re-plot at intervals.
You will need the polyline between stations so that you know where to plot the trains, though. From the timetable you could derive the duration of the leg to the next station. From your polyline you can get the distance between stations. Then you know the speed of the train, and can calculate how far it has got along that leg at some given time. Then you can plot the train position at that distance along the line. You'll need some kind of logic to select which of your polylines is the right one leading away from any given station, that should just involve checking destination. I'm not sure how useful is for a traveller to know which trains they have missed though. It might be better to look ahead and see which trains will depart soon, but that depends on what your purpose is. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
