how to convert google map with route into image in javascript

Question

I am trying to convert google map to the route into the png image. I am using canvas2image. I am succeeded with routes between markers in the map with javascript. But I'm trying to convert the image using html2canvas. But it says as:

"Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'toDataURL' on 'HTMLCanvasElement': Tainted canvases may not be exported"

Here is my code for exporting to the image:

$("#divclick").click(function () {
    html2canvas($("#totalimage"), {
        useCORS: true,
        onrendered: function (canvas) {
            alert(canvas.toDataURL("image/png"));
            $('#img_val').val(canvas.toDataURL("image/png"))
            $("#show_img").append(canvas);
        });
    }
});

It is not come when i am using google map without markers means direction services. It is coming when i am using direction services in google maps.

window.onload = function () {
        var mapOptions = {
            center: new google.maps.LatLng(markers[0].lat, markers[0].lng),
            zoom: 10,
            mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
        };
        var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("dvMap"), mapOptions);

            var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(data.lat, data.lng);

Looks like you need to set the marker's optimized property to false:

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: myLatlng,
    map: map,
    optimized: false,
    title: data.title
});

Why that makes a difference when there is a polyline and not when the polyline isn't added to the map, I can't explain.

code snippet:

window.onload = function() {
  var mapOptions = {
    center: new google.maps.LatLng(markers[0].lat, markers[0].lng),
    zoom: 10,
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
  };
  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("dvMap"), mapOptions);
  var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
  var lat_lng = new Array();
  var latlngbounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
  for (i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
    var data = markers[i]
    var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(data.lat, data.lng);
    lat_lng.push(myLatlng);
    var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
      position: myLatlng,
      map: map,
      title: data.title,
      optimized: false
    });
    latlngbounds.extend(marker.position);
    (function(marker, data) {
      google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function(e) {
        infoWindow.setContent(data.description);
