Whether XML or JSON, it'll be ridiculously easy to break the data file completely with something as simple as an apostrophe or ampersand in a placename (see every alternate post in this forum with titles like "my map just stopped working"). I'd strongly recommend some kind of user-interface that can take care of encodings etc. for them, even if the project doesn't warrant a database system. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
