Are you sure about that? A geodesic polyline follows a great circle. A ship travelling long distances ought to follow at least *portions* of great circles too, as it is the shortest route between two points. Keep in mind that your sample map does not seem to be in any good projection, as Spain appears in front of Brazil, so the same routes will certainly look different under Google's Mercator projection. You can try clicking on the locations your 'black points' here: http://maps.forum.nu/gm_flight_path.html It is also a geodesic polyline, but it has more intermediate points to make it look smoother. -- Marcelo - http://maps.forum.nu -- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
