I've had a quick search online and found a few people who have had<br>
similar questions, but no definite answers. My question is whether<br>
there is a simple way to take an encoded Google Polyline and place it<br>
into a Geometry column of type Polyline within PostGIS (that PostGIS<br>
understands and can work with).<br>
<br>
By way of background, I am using the Google Directions API to generate<br>
some routes, and I want to store the results in a PostGIS database.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I do not know what a "encoded Google Polyline" is but I believe Google can output KML. ogr2ogr can read KML and write to postgis, so that's where I would start.<br>
