Thanks, Barry! I really appreciate your response.
So, do I just include this in my javascript:
getNorthEast(bounds);
getSouthWest(bounds);
below my original code:
// Box the overview path of the first route
var path = response.routes[0].overview_path;
var boxes = routeBoxer.box(path, rdistance);
clearBoxes();
drawBoxes(boxes);
for (var i = 0; i < boxes.length; i++) {
var bounds = boxes[i];
// Perform search over this bounds
}
//Get the Lat and Long of the RouteBoxer
var northeast = getNorthEast(bounds);
var southwest = getSouthWest(bounds);
var coordinatesnortheast = northeast.split(',');
var lateast = coords[0];
var longnorth = coords[1];
var coordinatessouthwest = southwest.split(',');
var latwest = coords[0];
var longsouth = coords[1];
My goal is to get the four points that encompass my route so that I can
find points of interest nearby.
Thanks!
Kevin
