[OpenLayers-Dev] trace along feature

[Tim Schaub]

This looks cool Gagan.

I think something like this would make a great addition to our editing 
tools.  We'd need to have some discussion about where to put the linear 
referencing functions, as I know there is already concern about the size 
of our geometry classes.

I'm seeing some unhandled errors about an object not having a distanceTo 
method.  If you could address these and create a patch, opening a ticket 
would be a good next step.
