Actually looking at it now, there would be a similar thing on Android: https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/maps/model/TileProvider Brahma, it's my understanding that you *are* talking about overlays - or at least using overlays is exactly how such things are achieved with a native map object. You override a method that returns a particular image for the currently visible tiles of the map, so that you don't have to have your whole map image in memory all the time. The default implementation on both platforms retrieves map images from somewhere online Markers are not 'in the message path' quite in the way you are suggesting - at the moment the touch / click is received by the native view, resulting in a callback that is handled in LCB, which posts an appropriate message back to the widget's script object (in this case 'markerClicked pTag' where pTag is the tag defined for that marker). _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
