You may want to re-think that question, as it doesn't make much sense. A good way to render information on a tileset is to actually put the information on the tileset. ;-) > To give you an idea of the size of the tileset, it will be approx 3.9 > billion tiles at level 19 zoom. I hope you have a BBIIIIG computer. ;-) Creating tiles for zoom 10, covering the US only, takes over 1 hour on my 4 year old, Pentium M 1.7 GHz laptop. As the number of tiles multiplies by 4 with each zoom level up, if my math is correct, the same tileset at zoom 19, on my old laptop would take 30 years. A newer machine may cut it down to only 5 or 10 years of processing. :-) ... but don't trust me on this. Do your own math. -- Marcelo - http://maps.forum.nu -- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
