The obvious answer that I can see is to remove the use of markers from your map and instead use some sort of pseudo marker.
My favorite in the situation you describe is to use a tile overlay embedded with the marker images. To open an infowindow for any particular marker, just pass the coordinate and zoom level to a server side program, which will return the data required. It's a lot more efficient and is scalable. Here's a neat example that combines a tile layer and a KML to show volcano reports from around the world. http://www.usnaviguide.com/volcanoes.htm -John Coryat http://maps.huge.info http://www.usnaviguide.com http://www.zipmaps.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
