How to know if a route intersects a point?

[Warchangel]

Hello,

I am using API V3 and I'm finding some difficulties trying to discover if a point is on a route.

My problem is the following:
I have two entities: a route (DirectionsRoute) and a point (LatLng);
And I need to know if the point is in the route = D

Is there an easy way to do this check?

I have not found anything like this in the documentation for directions, only for rectangles.

Thank you

Not a function of the directions service. The best you can probably
do is find the distance of the point from the polyline returned by the
directions service, then set a threshold for "on the route" and detect
when the point is closer than that to the route.

I suppose you could try using that point as a waypoint in the route
and try to see how much the route changes, but that wouldn't be very
reliable.
