Thats nothing to do with V3 (or V2) API and everything to do with the A in AJAX. Its the nature of using web-based services, not a mapping issue. It's not easy to grasp asynchronous programming at first, but this is what you need to do. > Please say > you will allow XML/JSON directions request to static map server. You're talking to fellow developers here, not 'Google'. I'm not sure that you mean by 'static map server' really, but if you want to add your vote for a HTTP Directions service - which would allow you to get directions directly from your server rather than via the client - see here: http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=235 but don't hold your breath. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
