There aren't any examples that do that. I wrote the code that divides the sidebar into columns as a proof of concept for you. The code that just displays the items currently visible was already there. I didn't have a good general solution to this problem at that time either. The "best" solution for you will depend on your desired result and the number of placemarks that are expected to be displayed. -- Larry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
