Encoded PolyLine

[PazDak]

Fitness applications tend to use an Encoded Poly line to represent mapping and path data in a very compressed format. Leaflet, openmaps, and google have the capability to interact with encoded poly_line. I do not see a way to map that data from within Splunks Maps+

For instance this map would be generated with the below encoded PolyLine and a starting Lat Long or MGRS grid system.

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/utilities/polylineutility

lat = 45.08 long =-93.27

Hi @PazDak - Thanks for filing this ER. Let me look into what it would take to support encoded Polylines and I'll update this as I get more info.

Thanks,
I do have a python function that can convert it a series of Lat and Long addresses. I just confirmed that Google Maps and Leaflet both let you send the encoded directly to them though.

Would it be better to just store the extended version of [{lat,long}...] ?

@PazDak - Where in the docs did you see Leaflet natively supports encoded polyline? I don't see it mentioned anywhere in their docs. The only support I see for it is through the Leaflet.encoded plugin.

Looks like I misspoke. I was watching a video on it and didn't realize the author decoded the polyline to before passing it to leaflet.
