Previously I was asking advice in this group on encoding my very large polyline so that I could show the whole thing on my map. Thanks to you all I got it figured out and working great. Unfortunately now the line has gotten longer, and I'm encountering a new problem. The actual time for the encoded line to show on the map seems to slow down the browser to the point where it brings up a "script not responding" box. If you continue it usually loads fine, but of course many visitors to my site will not click continue, and of course it's quite a wait as well.
The problem is not with my database or sending the encoded line string to google - this seems to be pretty instant, and it's also not with displaying the overlay. It seems to be google's actual initial decoding of the encoded line. Once it's on the map all is good and you can scroll around and zoom without problems. However, it also seems to be browser/connection related... so I'm confused. On a good computer with a good connection, there's no problem. With most older machines the problem will occur it seems. Does anyone have any advice for breaking it up... caching... any techniques that can make it easier for the browser? This line should at least double in length, so I'm going to need to do something. The site in question is my blog at http://www.wanderinglost.com/index.php Thanks again, Josh --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
