Hi guys, sorry I'm not sure why the messages are not appearing here, but anyway got a response from Lennart too saying no updates with this (pasted below). It seems there are two issues, one is what we are discussing here (that the default overlay manager that's part of the map widget itself) is kinda slow, and the other is that the Marker class is not optimized for speed either.
I see some users have made a MarkerLight class to address the second issue for the pure javascript implementation, I guess the equivalent would be creating a GWT class that extends Overlay and you just do whatever custom drawing you need to in there, without all the rest of the extra stuff Marker provides. I'll look into this because it probably has an impact on overall speed as well. So I'll take a look at this and see if I can make a GWT wrapper for MarkerManager.

Here's the link: http://code.google.com/p/gwt-google-apis/issues/detail?id=231 I'm not working on this anymore. I needed the MarkerManager for a project i've worked on as intern. Now i moved to another project, so i don't have time to code on it. - Lennart On May 29, 5:24 pm, markww <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > This is a follow up to the following discussion: > > http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/browse_thread/threa... > > (however my messages are not appearing there). > > In the current GWT maps API, there is no MarkerManager class, we add > markers directly to the MapWidget class via addOverlay(). > > Are there are any plans to add the open source MarkerManager as a GWT > interface?: > > http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-utility-library/ > > if I were to do it myself, s there any chance of me checking it into > the GWT maps api project so other people can use and comment on it? > > Thanks, > Mark --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
