Maybe this has to do with the order with which Google Maps redraws the map.
If I have only the KmlLayer displayed, I don't see the flashing since the map is redrawn so quickly. However, when I toggle the display of my Markers on, I see the flashing. I see the map and the markers immediately redrawn. Then I see a pause and then the KmlLayer is redrawn. I did see a significant improvement in the zoom performance when moving from v3.2 to v3.3 though I still see what I have described. Should I consider this poor performance due v3 still being a work in progress? Will I see an improvement in the future? Or is there a way that I can remedy this now?

It is loaded into Google Maps v3.3 as a KmlLayer. Whenever I zoom in or out on the map, the KmlLayer appears to be redrawn. This causes a flashing effect for the polylines (they disappear and are then redrawn) while my Markers stay drawn (and don't flash). Is there a way to eliminate this flashing effect? I would really like to get rid of it. The same Kml is displayed regardless of the zoom so from an application point of view, there isn't a need to redraw the layer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
