in reply to Geocoding a route

As general reference, a "route" is known as "directions" in the parlance of the Google Maps API. Accessing this using the Google Maps API is described in some small detail. If you're wanting to get in to using the Google Maps API directly, then I highly recommend Mike Williams' Google Maps API Tutorial

However, you want a Perl solution since you're already using Geo::Coder::Google. A little bit of hunting around CPAN led me to Geo::Google, which has a path() method that does exactly what you want.

    opps...Geo::Google doesn't work.

    I spent a few hours thinking it was me, then sent the developers a question. Seems they know it is broken, but don't have any intention of fixing it :-(

    I don't have the skills/expertise to figure out why it's busted, so that modules out

    Back to the drawing board
