Google Maps - Looping through array for polyline

Time:02-14

I want to loop through an array of coordinates that I want to use for markers and drawing a line in google maps. Is there a solution to create the path property with a loop of const locations?

Please check my example below:

const lineSymbol = {
  path: google.maps.SymbolPath.FORWARD_CLOSED_ARROW,
  strokeColor: "red",
      scale: 4
};

const locations = [
      ["Tampere", 61.50741562413278, 23.75886761967578,  1, "Termin: xx.xx"],
      ["Helsinki", 60.219957, 25.196776,  2, "test2"],
      ["Travemünde", 55.778989, 18.271974,  2, "test3"],
      ["Stuttgart", 48.7733567672875, 9.174572759931003, 3, "test4"],
      ["Ludwigsburg", 48.8893286910321,  9.197454231637288, 4, "test5"],
]

const line = new google.maps.Polyline({

    path: [
        { lat:  locations[0][1], lng: locations[0][2] },
        { lat:  60.219957, lng:  25.196776 },
        { lat:  locations[2][1], lng: locations[2][2] },
        { lat:  53.941362, lng:  10.860464 },
        { lat: 48.7733567672875, lng: 9.174572759931003 },
    ],
    strokeColor: "red",
        scale: 7,
    icons: [
        {
          icon: lineSymbol,
          offset: "100%",
        },
    ],
 map: map,
});

By using above code it creates in Google Maps this:

  const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
    zoom: 3,

  const lineSymbol = {
    path: google.maps.SymbolPath.FORWARD_CLOSED_ARROW,
    strokeColor: "red",
    scale: 4
  };

  const locations = [
    ["Tampere", 61.50741562413278, 23.75886761967578, 1, "Termin: xx.xx"],

  ]
  var path = [];
  var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
  for (var i = 0; i < locations.length; i  ) {
    path.push({
      lat: locations[i][2],
      lng: locations[i][1]
    });
    bounds.extend(path[path.length - 1]);
    new google.maps.Marker({
      position: path[path.length - 1],
      map: map
    })

  }

  const line = new google.maps.Polyline({

    path: path,
    strokeColor: "red",
    scale: 7,
    icons: [{
      icon: lineSymbol,
      offset: "100%",
    }, ],
    map: map,
  });
  map.fitBounds(bounds);
}
/* Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div
       * element that contains the map. */

#map {
  height: 100%;
}


/* Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. */
