Hi,

I am working on car tracking application in nodeJs.

  1. I have 100 to 100000 coordinates for a trip. After drawing path on map. Now i need to set a valid center of map. I am stuck here.
  2. How can i pass lat, long instead of address

    markers: [ { location: 'C-20/1, Sector-62, Noida, Uttar Pradesh 201301', label : 'S', color : 'green', shadow : true,

    }

is there a way use only lat, long instead of (C-20/1, Sector-62, Noida, Uttar Pradesh 201301).

Lat Long can be passed like '51.06199,4.362622' note the '. for the center if you use static map just remove the center and zoom tags and google will auto search for the best center and zoom for your call. documented here

example:
var params = {
  size: '640x640',
  maptype: 'roadmap',
  markers: [
    {
      location: LatLong1,
      label   : '1',
      color   : 'green',
      shadow  : true
    },
    {
      location: LatLong2,
      label   : '2',
      color   : 'blue',
      shadow  : true
    },
    {
      location: LatLong3,
      label   : '3',
      color   : 'red',
      shadow  : true
    }
  ],
  style: [
    {
      feature: 'road',
      element: 'all',
      rules: {
        hue: '0x00ff00'
      }
    }
  ]
};
