Use Google maps API to draw a polyline that changes color

问题

I'm working on a project that plots a track from GPX file onto google maps, and color-code it with an attribute (let's call it Score). I've done some editing that now there is an additional tag Score for each coordinate in this GPX file. Here is a snippet of my modified GPX file.

<trkpt lat="50.834048" lon="-0.127354"> <ele>31.0</ele>
<Score>-0.64730385</Score>
<time>2016-07-07T14:31:51Z</time>
</trkpt>

<trkpt lat="50.833833" lon="-0.127600"> <ele>31.0</ele> 
<Score>-0.647203</Score>
<time>2016-07-07T14:32:09Z</time>
</trkpt>

I'm learning Google maps' javascript API to do the plotting part. My question is, how to create a ployline that changes color based on Score? I understand that I can draw thousands of mini polylines with just two points, and set a color for each of them. But it feels very primitive. Are there better ways of doing it? Also, I could write my own function to parse this GPX file, but why doesn't google maps support GPX?

If it helps to illustrate my purpose, this is what I try to achieve:

回答1:

One option would be to make a separate polyline for each line segment and assign it a color based on the Score in the first point of that segment.

for (var i=0;i<(trkpts.length-1);i++) {
  var coord1 = new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(trkpts[i].getAttribute("lat")),
                                      parseFloat(trkpts[i].getAttribute("lon")));
  var coord2 = new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(trkpts[i+1].getAttribute("lat")),
                                      parseFloat(trkpts[i+1].getAttribute("lon")));
  var score = parseFloat(nodeValue(trkpts[i].getElementsByTagName("Score")[0]));
  var polyline = new google.maps.Polyline({
    map: map,
    path: [coord1, coord2],
    strokeColor: rgb(-1,1,score),
    strokeWeight: 4,
    strokeOpacity: 1.0
  });
}
