'Google maps draw distance traveled polyline
I would like to draw a 'distance traveled' polyline over a preset route using V3 of the google maps API.
The polyline would need to run through multiple waypoints/legs.
I am currently using the DirectionsService to draw the complete route.
I am also using epolys.js to get the marker position for the distance traveled.
I am copying the complete route into a new polyline, but I would only like to copy the route up to the marker position.

And here's where I'm currently at with the JS

Solution 1:[1]
Calculate the length of the line as you create it. Once it becomes greater than or equal to the distance "walked", stop adding points to it.
var lengthMeters = 0;
var legs = response.routes[0].legs;
for (i = 0; i < legs.length; i++) {
var steps = legs[i].steps;
for (j = 0; j < steps.length; j++) {
var nextSegment = steps[j].path;
for (k = 0; k < nextSegment.length; k++) {
if (lengthMeters <= walked) {
// if polyline is less than distance "walked", keep adding to it
polyline.getPath().push(nextSegment[k]);
if (polyline.getPath().getLength() > 1) {
var lastPt = polyline.getPath().getLength() - 1;
lengthMeters += google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(polyline.getPath().getAt(lastPt - 1), polyline.getPath().getAt(lastPt));
}
}
bounds.extend(nextSegment[k]);
}
}
}
polyline.setMap(map);
