Encore: Try the same with a polyline example:
https://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/#polyline_simple
https://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/#polylines_v3

You'll notice all those Geolocation positions: google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419),

Bonus: Try to find out the Geolocation of your high school.
