Yes, I realise that, but was hoping to avoid the need. I do have something in place that seems to work in practice, but I'm wondering whether all the resources used are actually being released for re-use. Some Google components, perhaps all, seem to have an undocumented clear() function, which may be relevant. > But the map shouldn't stop responding, must be something going wrong > with your code. No. If a user pushes 'n' pulls or zooms in and out of a Google map too often without giving the map time to respond, eventually it sulks and stops working. The symptom is that although all the usual status bar messages occur, the map itself remains blank. It's not usually a problem, because the user is not usually that manic. However, on my two most popular pages, there is both a Google and an Open Layers UK Ordnance Survey map, and the latter is very greedy of bandwidth, so this problem is much more likely to occur. Hence I need to know if there's an 'official' way to clean up and relaunch the map. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
