I am wondering if bus stop icons embedded in map (maps created using Google API or Baidu API) can be made clickable? I am aware that someone mentioned in another post of the legal issues regarding real-time data between the maps service provider and the public transport agencies. However, what if I just want to make the bus stop icons clickable mainly to show bus stop information such as bus service numbers and name(in the case of Baidu Map), is there any ways to do that? Those information can be obtained from the API so I do not think there is any legal issues compromised.
I am aware that I can simply just search for the bus stops and create markers to mark the points, and open the info window by clicking on the markers. However I feel that it will be better to enable the bus stop icons (already show on the map) clickable instead of displaying more markers.
Any information and help regarding this issue will be greatly appreciated. :) (I'm using Baidu Map v1.3 btw)
