Is it possible to find a latlng on the polyline which is closest to another polyline?

I have a scenario in which, we match the device latlng with the polyline with a tolerance of 150m. As a result the data stored onto the server isn't accurate as it has a deviation of 150m.

Would like to know if there is a way in PolyUtil where, one finds whether the latlng is on the polyline using isLocationOnEdge(...) and if true then I obtain the latlng that was closest match (on the polyline) to the verified latlng.

You could modify PolyUtil.isLocationOnEdgeOrPath to return the closest LatLng instead of true/false.

That's a very specific use case, and not one that I think the library should support.

Could you please provide more insights on which points should be returned? I would write a custom a method like you suggested.

EDIT: This worked! Thanks

[rohitsingh5]

can you tell me which points have you returned?

this is exactly what i have been trying to achieve, thanks for pointing to modifying the isLocationOnEdgeOrPath. anybody with the link or code sample on how to return the coordinates instead of boolean value
