Is there a way to highlight a specified road or street using Google Maps API V3?
Here is an example of what I am trying to get (image from searching a place in google): example
Styled maps does not do what I want since it will apply to all roads. Polylines is an option but finding the coordinates can be a bit of a pain since they are not always complete.
Thanks.
It has already been discussed and I'm afraid you'll have to use polylines.
This might be useful though : Highlighting whole street with some maps API

I have a set of random locations. The location set will keep changing. I would like to draw a polygon surrounding these locations.
Can this be done in Google Maps and how? The map will be displayed on a website only, no mobile api required.
It's called a convex hull. Here:

I would cite the code but it belongs to #geocodezip who is the authority on google maps and runs an excellent site of examples. I suggest you check it out.

I want to make a line over the railway and not a straight line.
Is it feasible?
Yes of course, you only have to look at the documentation of google maps, there are many examples, you just have to replace the latitude and longitude Google Maps API
I'm a big fan of OpenLayers. The only thing i'm missing here are directions.
Since google maps supports directions, I want to integrate these with OpenLayers.
Is it possible to use the google maps api to get directions from point A to point B (support for waypoints?) and then display on my map (as an extra vector layer?)?
Google Maps doesn't support directions. and you have to use Google Directions API to get you direction instructions. as for displaying the directions on google maps, it's can be done. head to this post to

I'm not sure where to start looking in the documentation, but I'm trying to load map images of cities with their boundaries outlined.

Any help getting started would be greatly appreciated, I'm pretty new to the maps api.
Thanks
There is currently no way to request a map with boundaries automatically rendered on it. Your best bet is to pull the polygon information from another system and render using an encoded polyline if you're using the Static Map API or regular overlays in the JavaScript API.

I am using the google maps api v2 to build attraction guide mashup. Currently it shows some landmarks on the tiles it returns. I notice some of the geocoding of certain attractions is off.
Is there a way I can tell google to send back map tiles with no land marks? I cant seem to find any info on the api docs about it.
As of Google Maps API v3, you can use the Google Maps API Styled Map Wizard to do exactly this.
There is no way to request custom tiles from Google. Your only option is to choose from the available map types, or to generate your own tiles.
The Terrain map (G_PHYSICAL_MAP) might be more acceptable for you.
