Remove completely polyline - google-maps-api-3

I have the next code for loading a path using a xml file, but when I try to load another path for other vehicle, it load also the last path together with the new one.
Before load the XML file again I firstly call a remove function. But it only hide the path .
Best regards.
var polyline = [];
function path() {
downloadUrl("myPath.asp?vehicle=12", function(data) {
var xml = xmlParse(data);
var markersPath = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
//var path = [];
for (var i = 0; i < markersPath.length; i++) {
var lat = parseFloat(markersPath[i].getAttribute("lat"));
var lng = parseFloat(markersPath[i].getAttribute("lng"));
var pointPath = new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lng);
path.push(pointPath);
}//finish loop
polyline = new google.maps.Polyline({
path: path,
strokeColor: "#FF0000",
strokeOpacity: 1.0,
strokeWeight: 2
});
//new polyline
polyline.setMap(map);
}); //end download url
}
function removePath() {
polyline.setMap(null);
polyline = null;
}

I wish to show route of 'n' number of drivers (single route for each driver)on Gmap. Its a case of dynamic drivers

Currently i am able to display 3 route of 3 drivers respectively(one for each) on a single Gmap.
Now, I wish to show route of 'n' number of drivers (single route for each driver)on Gmap. Its a case of dynamic drivers. I can get data from db for 'n' number of drivers that i need to display on a single map.
My Code is below for single driver please help me for dynamic craetion of routes:
var lat_lng1 = [];
var latlngbounds1 = "";
lat_lng1 = new Array();
var value1 = markers1.length;
//Intialize the Path Array
var path1 = new google.maps.MVCArray();
//Intialize the Direction Service
var service1 = new google.maps.DirectionsService();
var lineSymbol1 = { path1: google.maps.SymbolPath.CIRCLE };
//Set the Path Stroke Color
for (i = 0; i < markers1.length; i++) {
var data1 = markers1[i]
var myLatlng1 = new google.maps.LatLng(data1.lat, data1.lng);
lat_lng1.push(myLatlng1);
var marker1 = new google.maps.Marker({position: myLatlng1,map: map,icon: icon1});
(function (marker1, data1) {
// Attaching a click event to the current marker
google.maps.event.addListener(marker1, "click", function (e) {
if (i == 0){
infoWindow.setContent(data1.Person);infoWindow.open(map, marker1);}
if(i=(markers2.length -1)){
infoWindow.setContent(data1.Person);infoWindow.open(map, marker1);}
else{
infoWindow.setContent(data1.Title);
infoWindow.open(map, marker1);}
});
})(marker1, data1);
}
poly = new google.maps.Polyline({
// path: lineCoordinates,
strokeColor: '#BC456F',
icons: [{
icon: {
path: google.maps.SymbolPath.FORWARD_CLOSED_ARROW,strokeColor: '#009900',fillColor: '#009900',fillOpacity: 1},
repeat: '100px',
path1: []
}],
map: map
});
well I solved this issue the very next day by calling ajax loops by driver id

RouteBoxer not working

A polyline is created using the click function. I am using the RouteBoxer Utility to create a set of boxes along this polyline. I have tested the drawBoxes function with an alert box and it is working but the boxes are not showing up. I guess i'm missing something. Any tips?
(function() {
window.onload = function() {
var places = [];
var path;
var string = "";
var para = document.getElementById("para");
var map = null;
var boxpolys = null;
var directions = null;
var routeBoxer = null;
var distance = null;
//create reference to div tag in HTML file
var mapDiv = document.getElementById('map');
// option properties of map
var options = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-20.2796, 57.5074),
zoom : 16,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
// create map object
var map = new google.maps.Map(mapDiv, options);
// create MVC array to populate on click event
var route = new google.maps.MVCArray();
var polyline = new google.maps.Polyline({
path: route,
strokeColor: '#ff0000',
strokeOpacity: 0.6,
strokeWeight: 5
});
polyline.setMap(map);
// create click event,attach to map and populate route array
google.maps.event.addListener(map,'click', function(e) {
// create reference to polyline object
path = polyline.getPath();
// add the position clicked on map to MVC array
path.push(e.latLng);
});
$('#compute').click(function() {
routeBoxer = new RouteBoxer();
distance = parseFloat((0.1) * 1.609344);
var boxes = routeBoxer.box(polyline,distance);
drawBoxes(boxes);
});
};
})();
// Draw the array of boxes as polylines on the map
function drawBoxes(boxes) {
alert('working in function');
boxpolys = new Array(boxes.length);
for (var i = 0; i < boxes.length; i++) {
boxpolys[i] = new google.maps.Rectangle({
bounds: boxes[i],
fillOpacity: 0,
strokeOpacity: 1.0,
strokeColor: '#000000',
strokeWeight: 3,
map: map
});
}
}
Your var map needs to be global, otherwise it is not visible from within function drawBoxes().
Move the declaration outside the function.
var map;
(function() {
window.onload = function() {
var places = [];
var path;
var string = "";
var para = document.getElementById("para");
var boxpolys = null;
var directions = null;
var routeBoxer = null;
var distance = null;
//create reference to div tag in HTML file
var mapDiv = document.getElementById('map');
// option properties of map
var options = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-20.2796, 57.5074),
zoom : 16,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
// create map object -
//============== no 'var' keyword here ======================
map = new google.maps.Map(mapDiv, options);
... etc ...

Remove polyline

I have the next code which show a path using a polyline. How can I remove it?
downloadUrl("myfile.asp", function(data) {
var xml = xmlParse(data);
var markers = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
var path = [];
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
var lat = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat"));
var lng = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng"));
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lng);
path.push(point);
}//finish loop
var polyline = new google.maps.Polyline({
path: path,
strokeColor: "#FF0000",
strokeOpacity: 1.0,
strokeWeight: 2
});
polyline.setMap(map);
}); //end download url
I have tried it using the next function but I m not able to make it work.
function removePath() {
polyline.setMap(null)
}
I think the problem is position of the variable "polyline".
var polyline = null;
downloadUrl("myfile.asp", function(data) {
...
polyline = new google.maps.Polyline({
path: path,
strokeColor: "#FF0000",
strokeOpacity: 1.0,
strokeWeight: 2
});
polyline.setMap(map);
}); //end download url
function removePath() {
polyline.setMap(null)
}

No. You have options avoidHighways and avoidTolls, but there's nothing like avoidByways. This is because the service needs to get as close as possible to origin and destination and it may only be possible to use byways to get there. avoidHighways is possible because it's highly likely there is some route from A to B without using a motorway. [An exception is where a motorway connects two islands and there is no minor road route: I don't know if avoidHighways merely avoids them and the API would in fact use a highway if there is no alternative.]
The API will favour fast routes, so main streets will be preferred by default. If you were able to instruct the API to use only main streets, it is entirely possible that it would not be able to find directions between A and B.

how to reset value of steps in google maps v3 animation

this is my example http://gidzior.net/map/v3_animate_marker_directions.html (i'm using placeholder in the input), core of GM code is from geocodezip.com, i develop the code with the great help of Andrew Leach
1500 meters in the animation before the destination is set to zoom could be seen to better reach this destination point, unfortunately, after zoom, animation is not smooth and therefore I set the "step" value to 15, how to reset this value after animation stops
i set step = 15 - if (d>eol-1500 && zoomed!=true) { map.setZoom(15); step = 15; zoomed=true; }

I managed to get to this, thanks anyway
i took var step = 50; to the the top
var map;
var directionDisplay;
var directionsService;
var stepDisplay;
var markerArray = [];
var position;
var marker = null;
var polyline = null;
var poly2 = null;
var speed = 0.0000005, wait = 1;
var infowindow = null;
var zoomed;
var zoomedd;
var zoomeddd;
var step = 50; // 5; // metres
var myPano;
var panoClient;
var nextPanoId;
var timerHandle = null;
i set step = 50; to the end of calcRoute() function and now animation works fine
