Google Map API Examples and Tips

You will find here some methods that may not yet be included in Mike William's excellent collection of Google Map API examples. Most of my examples (more coming) focus on the dynamic expression (pulling data from a database) of data on polygon and polylines., using PHP and MYSQL.

The primary concern relating to polygons is the scalability of data, especially if the polygons are non-static; meaning that the user can alter the map output based upon selected values. In addition, some extra methods must currently be employed to add some nice usability to the maps, like colour changes on mouse overs and a tooltip label when hovering over polygons.
