Pointy

Uses Google Directions API to get a list of points between two locations.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'pointy'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install pointy

1. Set the environment variable GOOGLE_DIRECTIONS_API_KEY to your Google Directions API key.

2. Use the route method to retrieve points between two locations.

   Pointy.route(from, to)

from and to should be hashes of the following format

{
  lat: 55.8580,
  long: -4.2590
}

The returned array of points are of the same format. If you would rather an array of polylines then call Pointy.route_polylines(from, to) instead.

You can also pass in any other query parameters accepted by Google, so you override the API key or transport mode

Pointy.route(from, to, {key: 'my-api-key', mode: 'walking'})

The mode defaults to 'walking' and sensor defaults to false.
