Dont think it will. its been recently noted that the KML render has a limit of 100 custom icons. (thats 100 features with custom icons, rather than 100 seperate custom icons) - after than it just defaults to blue push-pins. > > Otherwise - any suggestions on how to create this 'panoramio' type of > layer with our own images? The suggestions already tabled are good, dont use GGeoXml but rather a different way to display your data. Still displaying a large number of icons via client side javascript will be a hard on the browser. making sure your serving proper sized thumbnails will help (rather than letting the browser) - but will still need some way to manage the content. ... the alternative is to create tiles - composite images of your images - like Google does with GGeoXml. that way you can generate them directly on your server and not be subject to the limiations of Google. You still have to implement some sort of click handler. (either catching clicks, and forwarding to server asking if anything there - or having some sort of lightweight javascript structure client-side that knows where clickable content is) > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Google Maps API" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-api?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
