in case anybody's looking for something similar, here are two solutions I came up with: 1. Put the 188 countries in an array, geocode the center of the map and check if the geocoded country name matches anything in the array. This seems a little wasteful because you end up calling the geocoder every time you move the map: http://www.xelawho.com/map/ip.php 2. Get the country "bounds box" (their minimum and maximum lat and lng) from here: http://www.nearby.org.uk/coords/countries.csv, narrow the list down to the countries that use mapmaker tiles and if both the lat and lng of the map center are within that "box", change to mapmaker tiles. If either of the lat or lng are outside of the box, load the normal tiles: http://www.xelawho.com/map/ip2.php Neither seems perfect, but both work ok... if anybody has a (3), I'm all ears. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
