I want to add a feature of my application where the user can upload a big set of data, and then my application will analyze the data and show on a google map as a bunch of line segments. There will be hundreds, if not thousands of line segments being rendered. Obviously using the javascript polylines method is not ideal. Whats the best way to go about attacking this problem? I already have a working GTileOverlay implementation going for displaying a bunch of points. Has anyone tried using the GTileOverlay method working for line segments?
If I just had it so my application outputs a KML file, will that be just as bad as using javascript polylines, or will that be a little better performance wise? Sometimes when I load a KML file into google maps, it seems as if the KML file gets rendered much like how GTileOverlay's get rendered. It's almost as if the KML file gets sent to Google, then returned back as 256*256 square PNG's along with the rest of the data images. Is this how it actually works, or am I crazy? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
