I want to move a marker through the given path in the map in my hybrid application using Ionic. I got a solution with Google Maps version 2, but I didn't get any replacement for the loadFromWaypoints function in version 3. Thanks in advance.
var dirn = new google.maps.DirectionsService;
var startpoint = document.getElementById("start").value;
var endpoint = document.getElementById("end").value;
dirn.loadFromWaypoints([startpoint,endpoint],{getPolyline:true,getSteps:true});<input id="start" type="text" class="nav-input" placeholder="Your Location" gm-places-autocomplete ng-model="yourLocation"/>
<input id="end" type="text" class="nav-input" placeholder="Drop Location" gm-places-autocomplete ng-model="dropLocation"/>Hope this will help you:

* *
* .GetPointAtDistance() returns a GLatLng at the specified distance *
* along the path. *
* The distance is specified in metres *
* Reurns null if the path is shorter than that *
* *
* .GetPointsAtDistance() returns an array of GLatLngs at the *
* specified interval along the path. *
* The distance is specified in metres *
* *
* .GetIndexAtDistance() returns the vertex number at the specified *
* distance along the path. *
* The distance is specified in metres *
* Returns null if the path is shorter than that *
* *
* .Bearing(v1?,v2?) returns the bearing between two vertices *
* if v1 is null, returns bearing from first to last *
* if v2 is null, returns bearing from v1 to next *
