One of my Application's features need to show the track history of a vehicle on map. In order to implement this feature I am using Google Road API. I am passing 100 lat lng points to it but the resulting response is not on road. it contains many jumps.
Is there any other API which gives the better response? And is it it possible to plot those points on google map?Help required.
Thanks.

We want to implement a logistic software program to fetch all the places between two locations.
As an example A is the starting point and B is the destination. Now we would like to fetch all the area names with in a radius of 500 Meters from the google maps at starting point (A), destination point (B) and all the places between A and B.
Is there any API which can be integrated or any kind of help is welcome!!!!
Of course there is! You should use Google Places API and feed it with the points (lat, alt) that you get from your Google Maps route. Remember to use the radar function.
I would like to plot route between 2 points using lat long coordinates using Google maps direction service. I have to plot many routes in a single map. I have heard some where that it takes time for reverse geocoding and also there is a limit for it. Is it possible to do it without reverse geocoding the coordinates?
If you already got the coordinates then you can just use LeafLet or OpenLayers to display them on a map. This doesn't involve Google Maps at all and you can also directy display a GPX file if you like to.
I'm using Google Maps API to display some information to my users. But I want the data is country and state specific. Now is there a way to display data to a state and country without having to provide the LAT and LONG?
I want to highlight the state and once the use click on it display some information.
The Google Maps API v3 uses geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) for location information on the map. To position state and or country polygons on the map you will need data for them (which will need to include their geographic coordinates). There are publicly available polygons, the Natural Earth data set being one that is available in FusionTables.

I need to find points that define delimitations of neighbors from Chicago.
My question is: How can I find a list with latitudes/longitudes of all the points that delimit neighbors. For example:
Gold Coast from Chicago is a polygon with 6 points as seen on google map: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&t=m&vpsrc=6&source=embed&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=206241844247425110008.0004b43f0262868b8037f
What is the best way to extract this points so I can draw poly-lines over google map with google API for specific neighbors?
Edited:
So with addresses, which you already have, you can create a Maps API site:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/
and use the Geocoding API to get the latitude and longitude of each of the addresses.
Added: Seems based on your comment that you're looking for neighborhood boundary data. Google Maps doesn't provide that data. There are different venders that do, one I have heard of is the Zillow Neighborhood API. I have never used it so I don't know much about it.
I'm reading through Google Maps API documentation and I wonder if such a think is possible:
I specify the point (by coords)
I search for all roads, and junctions around the node (say in 1km radius)
I get parameters for the streets around (polyline coords)
Is it reachable, or google do not share that data?
Thanks in advance

I can image writing up a little script that generates a bunch of random points within a 1km radius and then performs directions services via Google Maps API to obtain all possible routes and thus streets within a 1km radius. However, this is problematic since it is kinda against the Google Maps TOS of displaying this information only on a map within a website and not extracting data for you personal use as this would be.
A better approach would be looking into utilizing Open Street Map data where you can download street data from a specific viewport. If buying street network data is an option, you can go to a commercial outlet such as NAVTEQ or PTV which post-processes NAVTEQ data to a format for use in the transport modeling software package you mention on your blog.
