Municipality / corporation outline

Open jrgriff opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

Google Maps supports a rough mapping of the outlines of a municipality/corporation when you search for it (i.e., if you search for "New York, NY" it will show you the geographic outline of New York City).

Is this supported through the API? Can it easily be implemented in ClassyGMap?

Sadly there no API for that. So it would be a lot of work to support (as would have to source the boundaries from elsewhere - maybe OSM)

Sad. Thanks for looking into it.
