You will want to check out the progress that has been made in this area with the Pergola library over at Dotuscomus.com http://www.dotuscomus.com/pergola/
Pergola actually harnesses the PolyMaps.org project and allows for layers of SVG to be added to the slippery map. The primary developer, Domenico S., is amazing and will be able to wire up most anything you ask for as he has been doing a lot of research in this area for the last few months. As an example, the "Layers" menu option adds an SVG polygon to the map. Pushpins can be added as well: http://www.dotuscomus.com/pergola/download/pergola_1.25/Examples/BingMaps/BingWindow.svg#12.00/37.7649/-122.4195 Referencing 1.5MB of SVG data is more than I have tested, but this should be possible. Enjoy, and yes, please keep us posted. Jon --- In [email protected], "David Dailey" <ddailey@...> wrote: > > What a wonderful sounding project!
