Wow Ben thanks for the help, Well I have observed this one my local machine. I am doing road routes by converting them from GeoRuby objects to json then creating polyline objects out of them. I have some routes that go from St. Louis to california so that is a lot of different coordinates that has to get passed so I'm trying to thin it down before it gets drawn.
Are you saying that this automatically happens? Or is this something I need to implement. - The Net Duck On Apr 2, 7:31 pm, Ben Appleton <[email protected]> wrote: > You can simplify polylines using the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm, which > discards vertices that are not needed for your zoom level.
