Search Along Route

by nearby.org.uk

Search for locations on along a route, the final directions will call at the approximate closest result



Note: The results returned by this script is VERY approximate - could easily miss better alternatives. If interested this is how it works:
  1. Driving Directions are fetched for the entered addresses
  2. A search for the 'via' string is made at discrete points along the route (each fetching just 4 results)
  3. All the points are checked for their distance from a point along the route (straight line distance)
  4. The closest result is inserted as a real via point in the directions which are fetched again
This strategy is a reasonable proof of concept, but as you can see from the wild assumptions made above, its far from perfect. YMMV
