One of our clients has asked for a roadmap feature for their website. Basically what he needs is a road map that lists all places around the route.
Now getting the distance between two points was effortless. The important thing is how to draw a polygon around the route.
After lot of browsing and Googling, I found a wonderful library that can draw a polygon around a route; it’s called the JSTS library.
Please check this example; you will be able to figure out the Road Trip feature 😉
