Now I see what you're talking about. The problem isn't in the API or anything to do with regular polylines, but in the projection (World Mercator) that Google uses to display a round world on a flat map. This is a universal problem, one that can't be handled with a straight polyline drawn across the globe. There is an option called "geodesic" that will solve that problem but it consumes a lot of points to draw it. The other alternative is to calculate relevant points along the polyline, enough to get it to do what you want and use that instead of the geodesic option.
If this isn't clear enough, I suggest doing a little research on mapping projections. They are a curious animal and are generally poor at showing large swaths of the earth in any sort of accurate detail. World Mercator is a good choice for flat tile based maps though, as longitude and latitude lines are parallel using this projection. -John Coryat http://maps.huge.info http://www.usnaviguide.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
