Creating Path

The path means a polyline.

We turn to the tab "Paths".

Enter the necessary number of paths with reference to a specific map.

Field Path - a set of coordinates of points, the coordinates (Latitude, Longitude) are separated by comma (,), the points themselves - separated by a semicolon (;)

Coordinates it is convenient to choose by dragging the marker (values are substituted into the reference field in the form Current coordinates, from there you can copy and add a separator and value in the field Path), or clicking the mouse on the desired location.


In second part there will be described how draw polyline by tools and get values for path field.

Current coordinates Current coordinates


Create Path by drawing tool

The new feature added - drawing tool

On map there are new controls


You just simple draw polyline by clicking on points. Double click to stop drawing.

When you finished draw, the Current coordinates field contain all coordinate values to build path.



If you change polyline by draggin its parts, then double click on polyline to get new values in Current coordinates field (for copy-paste into Path field)

The Google's Drawing Library doesn't supports creating polyline with predefined points, therefore component not display path as a polyline for more useful management
