Hi everyone,  
I urgently need to figure out how to code an app where it will show you how to get from 1 call marker to another one? I am a beginner and cannot seem to figure out how to do it.  
Thanks,  
A fellow thunker.

you would need a routing API that returns a turn by turn path with coordinates, then plug those coordinates into the maps blocks as an array of polylines

I don’t understand. Is there any simpler way to do this?

you could embed [maps.google.com](http://maps.google.com) into your app? but it’s not the same.

Good afternoon,

@jared

I am trying to do what you say, but when i get the polyline it comes encoded ([https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/utilities/polylinealgorithm](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/utilities/polylinealgorithm))… How to decode that using thunkable x??

Thanks in advance.

Apprently There was an implementation for the decoding function in the Thunkable Classic(I think by a developer), however, I don’t see the option in the X Thunkable unfortunately.  
I am trying to find online free apis to make the conversion, @jonathanvalgarlh4ow if you found something, it would be great to share here

The post is already **ONE** year old. It is not a good idea to bump it up.
