Hello, I'm currently trying to figure out how I can show traffic information in an overlay on a Google Map (in a country where google maps does not already support Live Traffic). The provided data looks like: "point a to point b is red" but the problem is that I've got approx. 2000 of these small lines, this causes the browser to crash/timeout due to the long render time (obviously) when adding them to the map one by one.
Now I was wondering if encoded polygon lines are really the way to go here... maybe I could group by color so I would have 3 encoded poly line objects (e.g. green,orange,red,...). The problem in this case is that the highways obviously head in multiple directions, which makes it impossible to define in a single polyline (as far as I know). So my final question would be: Does anyone have experience with drawing complex polylines in multiple directions with up to about 2000 small parts? An alternative solution would be to draw all the roads in green by default and overwrite parts with red/orange where applicable.
