I am trying to draw a geodesic polyline with Google Maps JavaScript API from two address points.
var polyOptions = {geodesic:true};
var pol
You may want to check out the following example. First it tries to geocode address1
. If it succeeds, it tries to geocode address2
. If both succeed, it plots the geodesic polyline between the two coordinates, and two markers:
