Get All Roads on Google Maps and Cover Them with Polyline

[Mike Brenner]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the Google Maps API to create a map prebounded to a
given city's boundaries (by means of zip's or just city name). And
then I'd like to specify that all roads in that city are covered with
1-color of polylines (bound to the road, see here »
http://econym.org.uk/gmap/example_snappathdrag.htm).

Once there's a polyline on every street in that city, I'd like the
user to be able to click and drag to erase that portion of the
polyline, as if the mouse cursor is an eraser.

Breaking it down:

(1) On page load, show map with polylines on *every* street.
(2) User can click to erase points on polylines, or click+drag to
erase large portion of polylines

Could anyone offer any related links or potentially help me solve
this?

Thanks!

Well, we don't expose road data, unfortunately. You can get something similar from Open Street Map.

There's no real way to do this. You could emulate something similar with styled maps laid on top of each other, but showing/hiding portions of map tiles would likely be a breach of the Maps API ToS.
