Turns out, after deeper research, the existing routes api that we are already using has a feature to return the polyline. Additionally google has freely presented the algorithm to decode this polyline to the public! Therefore there was an open source library available to decode it for us to use.
This PR restructures our code (also updated the backend call) to process this polyline
How:
app_vue/src/utils/polylineHelper.jsfile that calls the decoder library
