Nice module - I was trying to find how to create a route (a path between points). I clicked on"enable Routes" under /admin/gmaps/map/1/edit (Overlays,Marker Settings, Routes) but I couldn't find where to implement that. Any hints would be appreciated.

Routes are autogenerated for both interactive and static maps. You just need to add at least 2 markers to the map and enabled the feature as you did.

It works only on multiple CCK fields and on devel maps (gmaps_devel module) now, because there are no other gmis/smis, that can add more than one marker to the map.

It's designed to use with map views(not yet implemented/ported) and/or multiple CCK fields, anyway.

Hi!
Shouldn't it show an actual route (i.e. following roads) instead of showing a straight line between points or am I missing some setting?

You're not missing anything, that is just a straight line between points.

Ok. Thanks!

Will there be routes like I described or is that out of the scope of the project? (It's in the API isn't it?)

I am also looking for a way to draw actual routes, is this going to be possible?
