spamming markers on roads help

[fireofhellx]

im currently working on a project for uni using google maps

i want to spam markers all over the roads with a set distance between each one, also the markers need to refresh when the map recenters (this is for a mobile device and im tracking the users position) ive been looking online and ive not found anything like this so any suggestions and help would be appreciated

oh this might help im basically trying to make a game so the spammed markers will become collectables i dont know if this help im still relatively new to using google maps

(sorry if the solution to this is really basic and this question is just a wast of time)

something alone those lines thanks thats a big help

ok so the link from Larry was very helpful however i need to place markers on the roads around a user no matter where they are

so currently im using watchposition to get the users location what i then need to happen is to some how get all the properties of the roads around the user (ie length of roads boundaries or a poly line for the roads) so markers can then be generated  and placed on all the roads visible on screen i hope this makes sense.

It makes sense, but as the Directions service is subject to a quota
and a rate limit (to prevent abuse), you may not be able to do it
dynamically with the services available to you from google.

You may need to get road data for your area of interest (accurate data
will cost money) and process it locally on your server.

This example (using the v2 API) seems to be similar to what you are
