Hi Pamela, Thank you for your message.
1) I'm placing a lot of markers-- from a hundred (which runs okay) to several thousand (which crawls or crashes). I know that's a lot of markers. Obviously, I could reduce the number of markers placed on the map, but that wouldn't be a good solution in my case. 2) I am using the markerManager, so that only the markers in the viewport are rendered. 3) I'm very interested in the ProgressBarControl that you mentioned. Keep up the good work. Thank you! -Laxmidi On Sep 1, 1:48 am, "pamela (Google Employee)" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Laxmidi- > > How many markers are you displaying?
