Question

I am trying to direct multiple polylines to a particular marker in a map.

I am able to draw the polylines to the marker but when I try to animate the same only the last polyline is working. The link below shows the map I made.

Also this is the code:

<head>
<style type="text/css">

  margin: 0;

Could anyone help me fixing this problem. Thanks in advance.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Make an array to hold all your polylines:

 var lines = [];

push your existing line(s) on that array:

 lines.push(line);

Process through them updating the icons.

function animate(){
  var count = 0;
  offsetId = window.setInterval(function(){
    count = (count + 1) % 2000;
    for (var i=0; i<lines.length; i++) {
     var icons = lines[i].get('icons');
     icons[0].offset = (count / 2) + '%';
     lines[i].set('icons', icons);
    }
  }, 200);
}// end of animate function

code snippet:

var line;
var lines = [];
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(41.7833, 5.2167);
