Highlight a particular road/railway line on Google Maps without specifying source and destinations
On Google Maps we usually look for a route between two places by specifying them by names. But how to highlight a route without specifying any place names? For example, if I enter Tokyo and Osaka in source and destination boxes on Maps it can show the main route and any alternate routes between the two cities. But what if I want to highlight only a road lets say if I want to look for Pacific Highway in Australia, the suggestions shown to me are of cities and if I click on one of them the Maps takes me to that spot on the map. But I want to highlight the whole of Pacific Highway and not any specific spot on the highway. Is there a way to do that in Google Maps?
