Calculate the direction (heading) in Google Maps API V3


From origin to destination, I would like to know the direction of.

Simply want to know which direction is in the angle values​​.

In the image above, the angle value will be probably between 350-360.

Solution

  • Use google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeHeading() with start_location of the first leg and end_location of the last leg as arguments.
