Polylines when :provider => "openlayers"

[atejeda]

I've tried with no success the polyline feature with openlayers as a provider, I know there's un-implemented features but is not clear to me how many of these features are implemented in openlayers, i.e.: polyline.

The thing is I just want to draw a line from a point to another point (lat, lon), I guess this feature can provide that. If not, I'm trying to modifying the code, draw a line from the first point to the others (lat, lon) points.

My json data is :

[{"lng":-70.5838,"lat":-33.5241},{"lng":-70.5841,"lat":-33.5226}] 

code:

<%= gmaps(
"polylines" => { :data => @locations, "options" => { "draggable" => true } },
 "map_options" =>  { :provider => "openlayers", "auto_adjust" => "true", "detect_location" => false, "center_on_user" => false }, 
 :last_map => true ) 
  %>

I´ve an idea, but before trying to develop (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2735944/drawing-a-path-with-a-line-in-openlayers-using-javascript) I want to know if is possible to get this in some way with the actual implementation using OpenLayers as a dataprovider.

I confirm polylines aren't implemented in the gem for Openlayers right now. See here.

To implement it, you should abstract the polyline construction here and move different implementations in googlemaps and openlayers js files

Thanks, I'll try it.

I've implemented polyline for openlayers, check https://github.com/apneadiving/Google-Maps-for-Rails/pull/216
