title: Get exact geo coordinates along an entire route, Google Maps or OpenStreetMap
body: <p>Suppose I have a route defined from one town to another.  From the Google Maps API I can recover a route between the two.  However, the route returned from Google is a driving route that includes geo-coordinates only at places where there is another step in a leg (for example, where I have to turn from one highway to another).</p>
  
  <p>What I need is geo-locations (lat/long) along the entire route, at specific intervals (for example, every 1/4 mile or 100m).</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to accomplish this via the Google Maps API / web services? </p>
  
  <p>Or would the OpenStreetMap database be the way to do it?</p>
  
  <p>Kind regards,
  Madeleine.</p>
