You need to allow the browser time to render the map before doing the processing of the polylines. Look into the setTimeout javascript function. You might also investigate the "loading" bar examples, they load groups of markers, then give the browser time to render the "loading" div. -- Larry > > Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
