Hi,

I'm develoiping a web application that uses a GMap embedded in my web
page.

Here is the link:

http://www.scrapeworld.com/GMapTest/polygon_redraw.html

I am trying to draw the sihouette of a boat that moves around on the
water in "real time".
Right now I am doing this by removing and adding polygon overlays. I
do this because I want the polygon to keep the correct size as the
user zooms in and out and also I will want to detect collisions
between boats (polygon overlap).

The problem is that the adding and removing of the overlay seems to
cause IE7 and IE8 to grind to a halt (I am doing it every 100msecs).
Chrome 4.0 suffers as well, but not to such an extent.

I am considering changing the code so that the boat is represented by
a div image (that is displayed at an angle of rotation) and I use a
different image depending on the zoom level. The disadvantage in using
images is that I can't see straight away how to detect colissions
between boats!

Can anyone advise how I might improve the performance?

Regards,

splasher
