You've maybe missed the useful part, you can build your own maps so that they overlay the regular maps provided by Google, so that you'll see them in the background. > I don't want to create maps.

It depends how complex your un-described transport network is. If you draw just a few lines, fine, overlay them as simple polylines on a standard map. If its more complex - say, the rail system of a country - you'll hit the limits of the technology in drawing more than a few hundred line segments. It is only client-side javascript, after all. There are then alternatives as they've been pointing out. One such way is to store all your 'lines' still as lines, but use server-side processing to create images of the lines to overlay on maps at the client side, thus taking the workload off the client. > So the question again: is Google maps API that tool > which can help in this situation, or I am wrong? Yes it is. There is even more than one way to use it, which is what they've been telling you. cheers, Ross K --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
