I have two points on the map, I was able to take the distance using the API, now I need to draw a line between the points so that the user sees all the way. I read that you need to use the polyline, but I unfortunately can not. I take the user's GPS coordinates as point A - and on the map, in the drag event I take the coordinates of point B. You can see an example on the following page: https://tojweb.tj/abb.php
Can you help?

You can use the Directions Service of Google Maps JavaScript API to get the directions between 2 points and pass the DirectionsResult to the DirectionsRenderer, which can automatically handle the display in the map.
Here is the code I made which handles the use-case (Geolocating Point A, Draggable Marker B, then having a route between 2 points) from your description. You can also check it here. Hope this helps!
