Looks to me as if they created static tiles in advance as PNG's. They might not have a .png extension but they are png's none the less. It's fairly easy to create tiles if you have the data. Search Google for this topic (google maps tile creation) and you'll find plenty of info. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
