Multiple destinations KML BUG!

[darmitage]

It appears that Google Maps has a weird inconsistency. When the http
request of
"http://maps.google.com/maps?&saddr=Denver,CO&daddr=boulder,co
+to:Oklahoma%20City,Oklahoma+to:dallas,tx" is processed it will do a
very nice job generating a multi-point route. BUT when "&output=kml"
is appended the resulting KML will not include any locations beyond
the daddr, in this case Boulder, CO. I also tried the "mrad=" syntax,
but that did no do it.

Any ideas?

That's probably not a bug. Nowhere is it documented (to us mere
mortels anyway :), so I doubt the kml output is meant to provide
multidestination routeing. It's been added to Google Maps, but Google
Earth (which is the only offical user of the kml output as far as I
know) does not support it, so there is no need for the support to be
even coded in.

Doesnt make it any less frustrating tho, when something you want to
work, doesn't.

Thank you for the reply Barry. It turns out it is probably more
useful to deal with multipoint route displays in GE on a segment-by-
segment basis anyway.

If you are ever looking to pick up some consulting work I'd be
interested in having you take a look over our shoulder.
