Labels in images are a touchy thing. I've created a proprietary routine to do the work myself, it took a lot of thought and programming to come up with it, so I am not surprised when free services don't add labels to the images.
There are a lot of issues with polygon labels: 1. How do you size the label? 2. How do you make sure it fits into the polygon? 3. How do you figure out where to put the label? 4. How do you find the largest empty area in a polygon? 5. How do you deal with holes in polygons to prevent labels from being placed over one? 6. How do you handle labeling for different zoom levels? 7. How do you deal with labels that cross tile boundaries? 8. How may other issues did I forget to mention? These are just a couple of issues off the top of my head. They are solvable but I believe unless you use some sort of professional software, like an ESRI or Mapinfo product, you're going to be disappointed. -John Coryat http://maps.huge.info http://www.usnaviguide.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
