Is there any way to plot a route using Kendo UI Map widget and OpenStreetMap with a series of latitude-longitude pairs which represent points along the route?
My understanding is that it is probably possible with Bing and Google Maps APIs (references: http://www.cannonade.net/geo.php?test=geo31; https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1e754aa6-d067-4e0e-9872-721fb056e60e/how-to-draw-the-route-path-in-bing-map-version-70-by-passing-the-lat-and-long-as-a-source-and?forum=bingmapsajax), which require purchase of corresponding API keys. I am looking for an alternate approach, with possibly some hard work involved. I am open to suggestions with alternatives to OpenStreetMap and Kendo UI as well.
Any direction in this regard would be highly appreciated.

I want to highlight a area like on the image below which is taken from Google Maps. Is this possible to accomplish with the current version of their API (v3)? If yes, how
You might use html / javascript to do it.
In html you have the <area> tag which you can drawn a polygon indicating some coords with the benefits of easy html markup. Find more info here.
You may find this JavaScript plugin usefull too, particularly its stroke settings.
But, maybe, the easiest way is to edit image with your favorite photo editor and then, after done, add any behaviours you might need.
If you could try to be more specific on your actuall needs, we could try to help you better! :)
How complex a project would this be?
There is the issue of integrating the dataset specific API.
I.e. dataset column names, dataset metadata perhaps
There is the issue of integration higher level APIs.
I.e names of datasets available, information about the specific portal, ...
Am I missing the point here with my question? Or would this a major coding project?

There are a couple of options you might take a look at:
You can actually create maps from Socrata data right from within our data exploration tools. Here's a support article on how you can do so
Using the GeoJSON output from our API, you can pull data into tools like CartoDB without needing to download it first
You could create a map mashup using a library like Leaflet or the Google Maps API. Here's an example of how to do it with the Google Maps API
I want to display data from kml file, which is situated here http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?f=q&msa=0&output=kml&msid=201434694813577429889.0004ba2d12b7538131e5e .
It is output from MyPlaces. I want to do more stuff with it - change icons, use clustering and so on, so embedding is not good solution.
I've tried to load the file using KmlLayer in GoogleMapsApi, which works, but I don't know, how to change icons and how to get data for each marker (coordinates, description, ..).
Actually, what I need is just the access to the data in kml, I am able to do all other programming on my own. The file is continuously changing so I need to do all the stuff online.
You could use a 3rd party KML parser (through a proxy) like geoxml3 or geoxml-v3. They render the KML using native Google Maps Javascript API v3 objects, you can modify those using the Google Maps Javascript API. When you do that you lose the benefit of KmlLayer's tile based rendering, so with complex KML, you may have performance issues.
example with your KML (seems to have a character encoding issue)
in Google Documents on some spreadsheets you have that world map widget/plugin that you can give country codes and frequencies and it'll generate a heatmap of the world with that data?
Can anyone suggest something similar to use in Grails? Obviously googling "Google Map" gives a million and one things about the actual Google Maps API, etc.
Thanks!
Found it from a friend- it's referred to as a 'Geochart',

I've been using amcharts (a flash component) to produce charts from within my rails application.
I'm curious.. is there a GEM or plugin that allows me to include a charting component in my web app that lets users mix from any data sets they want, and produce basic charts on their own? It would take me ages to script such a tool...
Ideally, I'd like it to read anbunch of xml (or whatever.. perhaps data right out of my database) that has multi-variable data, and the user can use the component to customize his/her own chart with several series, or however they want. A "dummbed" down version of excel, delivered over the web :)
Well you're looking for a graphic images generator ?
There is Gruff which allows that. But I personnaly don't really like the look of the graphs generated.
There is also something language agnostic : Google Charts Api. Which allows you to generate graphics by calling a specific Google url generated with your encoded datas.
So you take your datas from wherever you want (database, xml, ...), you call one of those two libraries and you get your graph.
I too had been searching for Ruby supporting charting libraries. Below are additional charting resources I've not seen mentioned in this post but I've come across in the past.
JQuery sparklines
ProtoChart
XML/SWF Charts
FusionCharts free (Also have a paid version)
Smashing Apps article on charting resources
Enjoy!
