Hi, I think you should use a custom map layer. You will need to serve tiles images from your server (either on-the- fly or precomputed) -> these tiles will only contains the roads and will be displayed on top of the google maps layers.
Here are some good examples: http://mapki.com/wiki/Add_Your_Own_Custom_Map http://econym.org.uk/gmap/custommap.htm It seems to be a good solution for displaying a lot of data (I successfully used it to display 500 marker efficiently: http://map.adael.com) Mathieu On Jun 13, 4:36 pm, george <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > Currently Google Maps does not have any street maps for Cyprus. > > I am trying to create my own maps using data from a GPS receiver > (stored in mysql) and the GPolyline. > > Problem is that for a 5 minute drive there are few hundreds of Lat/Lon > pairs resulting in ~500 KBs just to display a single road.... > > Is there a better practice other than using the GPolyline ?
