Hi Radiante I have no info about Chrome, but you should try out firefox v4.0 (beta) It uses GPU hardware acceleration for graphics rendering, I found a huge performance increase from IE7 when rendering large groups of markers. Chers//Martin -- You received this message because you are subscribed

Hi Radiante, WebGL would indeed allow an easy and fast implementation of "Google Earth" in your webbrowser. Together with Websockets (a new standard for a persistent connection between client & server) it is possible right now to develop a real good 3D solution of gmaps/earth. And I'm pretty sure,

WebGL is really impressive technology for online mapping applications. We were playing with WebGL as part of our R&D activities and the result is now released as an open-source project: WebGL Earth: Free and open-source 3D virtual globe for web and mobile devices http://www.webglearth.com/ htt

WebGL is not yet widely supported. Once it is, there is certainly a possibility that the Maps API will use it for rendering. As you note, this would open up many possibilities for the API. Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript

Why? For example. hardware acceleration via WebGL can up performance for rendering thousands markers and become a better method than Fusion Tables and privide 3D mode with greater performance. In addition, all this will work on mobile devices, iphone and ipad. So it very important question! On Fe
