    Waypoints API helps to find directions in Google. So how to pass multiple latitudes and longitudes in Waypoints API. This is the way pass a single lat long we would pass it as below

       waypoints: 
    [{
         location:new google.maps.LatLng(42.496403,-124.413128),
         stopover:false
    }],

    For sending multiple latitudes and longitudes waypoints, this is how to add multiple waypoints

    waypoints: [{location: first, stopover: false},
               {location: second, stopover: false}],

    This is the complete code for waypoint:

    <!DOCTYPE html>

            <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no"/>
            <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
            <title>Lat long way points (LatLng)</title>

                function initialize() {

                    };
