You can store what you like in the database, it's only a string of characters. It depends on what you want to do with the data in your database. If you might want to do complex searches, like finding all the small polygons within a large polygon, then it won't be able o do that with a string of characters and you'd probably want to use geometry objects. This group is for the javascript API by the way, which doesn't "generate KML" at all so I guess you must be talking about something else. cheers, Ross K --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
