Not sure what you mean here. The KML file is the KML file; to find out if any of the placemarks are in some given zone, you'd have to read through all the placemarks in the file. But having done that, it would be simple enough to only plot the ones in the zone. An easy way to get the effect, is to just let GeoXml do its thing and then centre/zoom the map on your area of interest. You'll only see what's in the map view and not the other markers in the rest of the world. But they'll come into view if the user zooms or moves around. That might not be very effective if the real problem is that hundreds of markers are impacting performance. If that's your issue, consider either weeding out the source data (the KML) or using a markermanager. Example - http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/browse_thread/thread/74fe48cd64b1c8be/38ebc7ae30c9f4b3?lnk=gst&q=geoxml+markermanager#38ebc7ae30c9f4b3 There are cleverer ways of doing things server-side, but it sounds like you are using a fixed KML file. cheers, Ross K --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
