Hi all,
I am at a loss as to how to neatly define a complex path polygon/
polyline (think a postcode boundary) in V3 of the API compared to V2.
We have an app that currently uses the V2 API to draw about 50 complex
polygons at a time on a map. This we do using encoded polygons. So one
complex polygon could be represented as:
"d{xefubzsz`bquxn{hlzu`...@jfcuro@c...@jn@b...@prbo@y|
@l[ygi...@zat@mnq^diqiblzas...@}erf}eaho@kUrAdH"
for example. That's a lot of points in a nice, concise string.
Now, in V3 I see there is no such GPolygon.fromEncoded() method, and
instead we are supposed to define polygons via code like:
var coords= [
new google.maps.LatLng(25.774252, -80.190262),
new google.maps.LatLng(18.466465, -66.118292),
new google.maps.LatLng(32.321384, -64.75737),
new google.maps.LatLng(25.774252, -80.190262)
];
Which, for that very example above turns out like as a few pages of
this editbox full of 'new google.maps.LatLng' definitions. This seems
horrendously inefficient.
I know I can send them as purely an array of points and then on the
client step over that doing the same, but that seems just as bad.
Surely there is a more effiecient way of defining a complex polygon
now?
