Encoding polylines?

[Hadmut]

Hi,

is there a description about the encoding polylines such that they can be decoded with

google.maps.geometry.encoding.decodePath ?

This looks like the old algorithm google used some years ago (I guess
it was v2 or even v1). But is this still the same? I doubt, since to
my knowledge zoom levels are not used anymore. I thought, this old API
was obsoleted and replaced with something newer.

The algorithm is still valid. Forget the zoom levels. Now you can
reach also encoding by API.

Yes.

The zoom levels are no longer used.
