Re: polygon cooridinates array massive confusion
My apologies I should be more clear. I would like to use a long array of numbers without geocoding them individually like in the example that works. When I document.write(GLatLong(37.4419, -132.0419)) it just returns (37.4419, -132.0419), but yet this does not work: var polygon = new GPolygon([ (37.4419, -132.0419), (47.3419, -122.1419), (37.4419, -112.2419), (27.5419, -122.1419), (37.4419, -132.0419) ], #f33f00, 5, 1, #ff, 0.2); map.addOverlay(polygon); I think this is the best way I can word my question: how I define the array points that contains 5 lat/lon coordinates without using GLatLng more than once, so that the following draws a polygon: var polygon = new GPolygon(points, #f33f00, 5, 1, #ff, 0.2); map.addOverlay(polygon); On Dec 10, 9:01 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Dec 10, 8:52 am, Dave Llorens [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: THIS DRAWS A POLYGON var polygon = new GPolygon([ new GLatLng(37.4419, -132.0419), new GLatLng(47.3419, -122.1419), new GLatLng(37.4419, -112.2419), new GLatLng(27.5419, -122.1419), new GLatLng(37.4419, -132.0419) ], #f33f00, 5, 1, #ff, 0.2); map.addOverlay(polygon); This is an array of GLatLngs...

Re: polygon cooridinates array massive confusion
(37.4419, -132.0419) That's a pair of numbers. You couldn't use it to represent, say, a point on a map because there is no frame of reference. 37.4419 of what? Relative to where? GLatLng((37.4419, -132.0419) That's a point which you can put on a map, because GLatLng is defined against a particular reference system. Hence why GPolygon wants an array of those as opposed to a jumble of numbers. Why are you trying to avoid GLatLng(), it's not 'geocoding' as you hinted earlier, it doesn't make any requests to servers or anything? I guess you could write your own MyPolygon function that behaved like Gpolygon but accepted an array of number arrays. cheers, Ross K --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Maps API group.

Re: polygon cooridinates array massive confusion
Hi Larry and Ross, Because my polygon I want has a ton of points, and I didn't want to figure out how to use KML to import the points. My skillz are obliviously infantile. I just wanted to feed it an array of numbers, i'll try creating a function like suggested. On Dec 10, 9:56 am, Rossko [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: (37.4419, -132.0419) That's a pair of numbers.

Wasn't it [EMAIL PROTECTED] who wrote: You could potentially extend the GLatLng class to have a contructor that takes a string...
