Add point on polyline beetwen two existing points on click polyline event

[Dronnikkl]

How can I add point on polyline beetwen two existing points on click
polyline event?
Thank you!

Add a click event for your polyline and that will trigger when the user clicks on the polyline.

The click event returns a point (lat,lng).

Use this point to create a new marker there.

This would be the simplest method of which to do this.  If you are wanting to actually add the point to the MVC array of the polyline you will need to determine where to insert it into the Array.

I don't think it is particularly easy. It probably would be simplest
to add each segment separately to the map with its own click
listener. When a click happens on that polyline, you remove it from
the map and add two new ones, using the two original endpoints and the
clicked location.

The only other way is to determine which segment of the polyline it is
on by calculation. The use the MVC array insertAt to insert it:

I have both a markers array and an MVC array.
The MVC array has the polyline going from marker to marker.

I assigned each element in the marker array a property which contains
the index value in the MVC array for the corresponding node.
Something like:
marker[i].mvc_index = j;

To insert a node into the MVC array after marker[i]:
path_var.insertAt(marker[i].mvc_index, position);

In other words, your code has to keep track of the relationship
between (1) markers and (2) nodes in the MVC array.

Larry is right. It does take a bit of work.

Bill Chadwick's extension to the v2 API has a Bill Chadwick has a
Distance Point to Polyline function:

that actually calculates all the information you need.
