Hello, I'm trying to determine if a pixel is a road or not on a constantly scrolling map. I'm using the javascript api to load and move the map.
I've seen this done using flash by checking the color but I can't seem to figure out how to check colors using javascript. Alot of people are saying that javascript cannot grab the color of a pixel on the screen unless it's rendered within canvas, which as far as i know, google maps is not. So i'm wondering if someone here knows another way to figure out if a point on a moving map is a road or not? I tried using the static maps api to mirror my javascript map but the static map gave me an error when the javascript map started to move and it needed to reload the image. So I don't think that'll work either. If anyone has any ideas or time to look into this I'd be extremely grateful! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
