You should be able to use any format that your browser supports. In order to work in all supported browsers, you should probably use only GIF, PNG or JPG.
The API just wraps the image filename in an <img> tag and gives it to the browser. [Except if the browser is MSIE and the filename extension is .png, when the API tells MSIE to use the AlphaImageLoader.] I can't see any advantage to using JPG. PNG has the advantage of supporting partial transparency. GIF has the advantage of supporting animations. -- http://econym.org.uk/gmap The Blackpool Community Church Javascript Team --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
