preview polyline before end click

[Andrew]

Hi. Is there a way in v3 to preview a polyline as you draw it (after you click to set the first vertex), similar to this v2 example:

http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/poly/mymapstoolbar.html 

I have a measure distance tool that calculates the length of a polyline of only 2 vertices that works fine, but I would like to be able to see the line before I make the second click (to end the polyline). Thanks!

Measure tool is at the bottom of page.

Add an event listener to the map's mousemove event, and in the
listener draw a line from the start point to the current mouse
position.

Roughly like this:

Thank you. That example helped. I think it looks better without using markers, so I just set them to visible: false.

If you don't want the markers, you don't need to create them at all.
Just use two boolean variables, such as

var point1 = false;
var point2 = false;
