Yep - it is horrible. The tiles have not been updated since the mid nineties. A lot of tiles in Northern Michigan are simply missing. Unless you are willing to implement a custom UTM projection, you have to run everything through a separate USGS server. It adds its logo to every tile sized image it returns. With elevation information (SRTM or NED), you could draw polys. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
