Hi Thank you very much for your insight.
So the conclusion must be that I loose about 1 meters precision if I encode a polyline. Another problem arises if the user edits an encoded polyline and I decode it, just to encode it again (to update the entry in the database). >From the example above the decoded lng is -122.14300000000001 if that is encoded again it becomes -122.14301, which by your numbers would be another meter? (from there on the decode/encode process is lossless). Marcelo > Your point is valid, a 1000 point route is unlikely, but if I can compress the data I need to send to the server I would do so :) - that and google maps supposedly draws a polyline faster from encoded? regards mat --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
