There are two tasks: 1. Creating a Map, and 2. Creating Features in a Map. You create an empty map then import data (features) into into it. I found it easier to create an empty map with the API because the property "api_visible" is automatically set to true. If you create the map with My Maps, then you need to use the API to change the "api_visible" property afterwards and I couldn't get that to work. Also I found it easier to import data into the map using My Maps because it automatically reduces the number of points in polygons. There seems to be an upper limit on the number of points in a polygon (500 points) and this prevented me loading some polygons using the API (for example Texas boundary). This limit requires further investigation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
