Thanks Grok Would you have some code or examples to illustrate this potential solution? I have to make it working using Google Maps API. It is so disturbing that it works so nicely in Google Earth and not in Google Maps. KML input is one possibility, all the original data being in an SQL Server DB, other formats can be used as soon as they make the deal.
Thanks for your feedback. Sylvain On 1 sep, 09:12, Grok Lobster <[email protected]> wrote: > Can you use the image as a ground overlay?
