Hi all, Maybe sounds a bit confusing, but the new Google Maps Charts, http://code.google.com/apis/chart/docs/gallery/new_map_charts.html#introduction, supports the use of lat/lon to define zoom areas. I just got the idea of using it as a source for tiles on Google Maps. The technique works very well for thematic mapping. Not so much for the use of labels (obviously it was not designed for this). But I think it makes for a fun hacjk that you can find useful on some situations. Check it out:
http://vizzuality.s3.amazonaws.com/gmapcharts/testcharts.html http://vizzuality.s3.amazonaws.com/gmapcharts/haiti.html Check out the source code, is really really simple. There is a lot of cool things to do with the technique. But first of all I am not sure if this is a fair use of the Map Charts API because of the heavy use. So if someone from Google could confirm it would be awesome. Have fun.
