[Google Maps API v2] Re: An Open Source RF Planner

Well my aim is to use the data parsed from the map to calculate
coverage areas, etc. I wont need an API for that. But for the actual
parsing, i.e. i need some inbuilt method to return some data that will
aid me in the calculation (like a distance matrix for example?). All i
want from the API is - once the user has drawn the polygon
representing the coverage area - for it to return numbers which i can
then use (with my logic, not the APIs) to calculate optimum cell size,
optimum tower placements, etc. I hope this makes it clearer?
