How to draw Route map between multiple markers in google maps using javascript

Question

I developed maps using google maps API. Markers are visible with proper labels. But how can I draw a route between the multiple markers?

Google map image:

JS file code is as following ( userhistory.js )

 var marker = []; $("#map").show(); map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), { zoom: 10, center: new google.maps.LatLng(17.7254567, 83.3097112), mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }); directionsDisplay.setMap(map); var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(); var i; for (i = 0; i < response.length; i++) { marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: new google.maps.LatLng(response[i].latitude, response[i].longitude), map: map, label: response[i].count }); google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) { return function() { infowindow.setContent("Name :"+response[i].name+","+"<br>"+"Date & Time :"+response[i].date+", "+response[i].time+","+"<br>"+"Location :"+response[i].address); infowindow.open(map, marker); } })(marker, i)); }

I'm Confused, anyone can help?

You can follow the sample here to use your markers as waypoints for generating route.

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/directions-waypoints

var marker = []; 
$("#map").show();
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 10,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(17.7254567, 83.3097112),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});

var directionsDisplay;
var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();

directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer();
directionsDisplay.setMap(map); 

var startPoint;
var endPoint;
var waypts = [];

var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var i;

for (i = 0; i < response.length; i++) {       
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: new google.maps.LatLng(response[i].latitude, response[i].longitude),
    map: map,
    label: response[i].count
}); 

if (i == 0) {
    startPoint = new google.maps.LatLng(response[i].latitude, response[i].longitude)
}

if (i == response.length - 1) {
    endPoint = new google.maps.LatLng(response[i].latitude, response[i].longitude),
}

if ((i > 0) && (i < response.length - 1)) {
    waypts.push({
        location: ew google.maps.LatLng(response[i].latitude, response[i].longitude),
        stopover: true
    });
}

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {
return function() {
    infowindow.setContent("Name :"+response[i].name+","+"<br>"+"Date & Time :"+response[i].date+", "+response[i].time+","+"<br>"+"Location :"+response[i].address);
    infowindow.open(map, marker);
}
})(marker, i));  
}

calcRoute(startPoint, endPoint, waypts);

//add this function
function calcRoute(start,end,waypts) { 
var request = {
    origin: start,
    destination: end,
    waypoints: waypts,
    travelMode: google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING
};
directionsService.route(request, function(response, status) {
if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
    directionsDisplay.setDirections(response);
}
});
}
