It is just a toy to demonstrate clickability but it could be used in situation #2 or #3 - static map to navigate to narrowly focused dynamic map. I can see it being used by realtors with light weight clickable markers to indicate properties for sale. Click to display property details. The map loading speed is important. The ability to quickly switch to another neighborhood is also important. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
