It won't, as you found. > For the purpose of testing I made a new Marker, with the latlng > coordinates of the north-east corner of the bound, but this marker is > totally out of the circle and I don't know why. The bounding box of a circle is a square which touches the circle at four points. There will be areas in the corners of the square which are outside the circle. To find whether a point is within a circle, simply find the distance between the point and the centre of the circle. If it's less than the radius it must be inside the circle. You don't need bounding boxes at all. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
