And in this case you could reduce the size of the uncompressed data by 25% by only storing your lat/lng values accurate to 6 decimal places. 6dp gives you pixel accuracy at zoom level 17. You don't need to specify the locations with nanometre precision. It might not sound like a lot, but removing 9 digits from the lat and 9 from the lng removes over 12k from a file that contains 700 lat/lngs. -- http://econym.org.uk/gmap The Blackpool Community Church Javascript Team --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
