How do you put a polyline in Google Maps?

 Putting a polyline on Google Maps depends on how you're accessing it: through the website or by coding for an app. Here's a breakdown for both methods:

Using the Google Maps Website (Limited Functionality):

Unfortunately, Google Maps itself doesn't allow you to directly create and add polylines through the website interface. Polylines, which represent lines on the map, are primarily used for developer purposes to customize map displays in applications.

Using Code (For Developers):

If you're comfortable with coding, you can create polylines using the Google Maps JavaScript API or other Google Maps SDKs for various platforms. Here's a general outline:

1. Define your coordinates: You'll need an array of latitude and longitude coordinates that define the path of your polyline. You can obtain these coordinates manually or through other tools.
2. Create a polyline object: Use the API functions to create a new polyline object. You can specify the coordinates array, color, thickness, and other properties for customization.
3. Add the polyline to the map: Once you've created the polyline object, use the API functions to add it to your Google Map instance. This will display the polyline on the map.

Here are some resources to get you started with coding polylines on Google Maps:

• Simple Polylines: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/polyline-simple (Provides a basic example)
• Maps JavaScript API Documentation: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/overview (Extensive documentation for developers)
• Polylines and Polygons to Represent Routes and Areas: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/start (Focuses on the Android SDK but gives general concepts)

Remember that using code requires some technical knowledge. If you're not familiar with coding, you might consider alternative solutions like third-party mapping tools that allow creating custom polylines without coding.
