Have a look at some of these http://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-api/search?group=google-maps-api&q=storing+polygons The API allows you to gather up a set of coordinates, perhaps an array, to do whatever with. Storing them in a database is outside the scope of this group really, and how to go about it depends enormously on what technologies you have available and/or are comfortable using. > 2.

The API does not provide that kind of functionality. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
