Alright, I believe this is already a known issue, but I can't quickly find the post about it.
Example: http://qfox.nl/files/gmaps1.php What happens is a large line is drawn, from top to bottom, with an arbitrary angle. This displays fine. However, once you start zooming, at some point (about zoomlevel 5) things go bad. When you scroll around following the line at such zoomlevels, you'll see the line 'jump' every now and then. The reason for this, I think, is that the polyline isn't kept in memory if it doesn't fit in the 'cache'. So when such a thing occurs, the original line is replaced by a new one to make things go quicker. No problem there. However, the new line has a bad angle and position now. It might not be a problem to the avarage user, but using an algo to determine the point on such a line nearest to the mouse gives very skewed results (http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/geometry/ pointline/). Now I understand that this will not be fixed for Opera and such, which use the image server to get polyline images, but this problem occurs in firefox2 (and I'm guessing all the others as well). It's really frustrating because this will confuse customers and can lead to 'bugreports' that aren't due to our coding efforts... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
