The Routes API Compute Routes demo lets you
specify an origin and destination as a latitude/longitude coordinates pair or
as a place ID. To copy the latitude/longitude coordinates, find and click a
location on the map, and then paste the location into the form.
If you have an encoded polyline or a GeoJSON linestring, and you'd like to
view the polyline on map, go to
Interactive polyline decoder utility.
After you select Get route, the demo displays the response from the
computeRoutes method as a route on
the map.
