I am looking for something similar to the V2 redraw method with "force=false". It is called automatically if map movement might require the GOverlay to be updated. It occurs very infrequently. It is easy to bypass if nothing has occurred. It does not require an explicit event handler for every instance of the GOverlay subclass with inherent memory leak issues. I am suggesting a V3 "idle" method in addition to the "draw" method with dummy prototype method in case it is not overriden. Google claims "too much overhead" which cannot be justified. It is difficult to imagine an OverlayView doing anything useful without having an explicit event handler. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
