It looks like the Google Maps API is the wrong way to go about what I want to do. What is the correct way to do this?
I want to create a rather insanely huge public "My Maps" database on Google Maps, posting literally tens of thousands of static data points. I've already tried creating a map like this by hand with about 150 data points and it is really slow... http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=101945457652391284741.00043ca5ed8e8bf797b85&ved=0CCMQmwU&sa=X&ei=fqXxSr2rIJXwNJeIlKcM I was hoping the Maps API would speed things up, but I see it is intended for making "my own website" with "my own database" that is live and up-to-the-minute correct. I don't want or need my own website, I am fine with storing the data in Google's own publicly searchable My Maps system, and the data is slow-changing so the mostly static My Maps system is fine for it. The alternate route appears to involve screen-scraping Google Maps and making a really ugly hack to automate posting of data points to My Maps, as if it were being done by a human. Which I really do not want to do. - Dale -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
