Well, after watching Sue and Dave's talk on Speedy Maps<http://www.google.com/events/io/2011/sessions/speedy-maps.html>from this year/s I/O, one question at the end was about speeding up complex polygons. Sue mentioned that a member of their team might be willing to look at solutions for folks, so I thought, "why not?"
Here's my map that overlays 3 very complex KMLs loaded with polygons: http://gis.mda.state.mn.us/source/ I have my Python guy create these from an ArcSDE (ESRI) source and update them every week. I believe he first simplifies the geometry, and then reduces attributes, in order to get the size under the Maps API limits. But it's still a bit slow to load the KMLs. One question: if I use MapTiler to create tiles of these, will I be able to preserve the infoWindows? Please also excuse my sloppy Javascript. I'm not exactly an expert in that arena...but at least I've minimized it! I can provide it with comments if anyone wants to see it in a lengthier form. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
