Get Drawn Data from Google Maps



I'm using the Google Maps JavaScript API. I've added a DrawingManager, and can draw custom shapes over the base map. How do I access the shape data that I drew?


DrawingManager



The DrawingManager doesn't seem to have any data getters, and my Map's data property appears empty even when a drawing is present:


DrawingManager


Map


data


map.data.toGeoJson(e => console.log(e))
>>> Object type: "FeatureCollection", features:





Would the downvoter care to explain? I'm happy to add more details if the question isn't clear enough.

Thanks @geocodezip! I notice that both of those answers "access" the data by either copying it or manually storing references to it. Would you say that this is the best approach, and that there's no way to access the drawn geometry directly?

The DrawingManager doesn't provide access to the drawn objects, other than in the "complete" event listeners (or at least didn't last I looked, that might change, but I'm not expecting it to)
