Not really. But your Browser does. Many features plotted at once and the map seriouslly begins to slow down... When you use the provided GGeoXml class it (as you noticed) only displays a limited number of features at a time in a bid to keep the map responsive. You also have to consider how useful the map will be. With 2000 big blue pins shown the map will not be visble (or barely! ) You can use a lighter (and smaller) marker with will help, but I would say that that many is still too much. So you need to get creative... > > > > -- Barry - www.nearby.org.uk - www.geograph.org.uk - --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
