Google maps : limits on number of points, vertices and polygons


I simply cannot find a usage limit for this particular feature on google maps. I know for sure they have a complete documentation on usage limits like number of requests/map loads per day. But regarding drawing tools, I especially like polygons. How many points can you plot, how polygons can you draw?

Or at least in your common experiences, how many polygons drawn on a single map instance does it take till the application crashes or the map fails to load?


Solution

  • Google does not impose any usage restrictions on any of the overlays including polygons, markers, etc. I have used over hundred polygons on my map without any issue from Google. However depending on how many points are present in the polygon the application may crash. I had that issue when I was plotting a polygon with over 4000 points. A workaround is plotting the polygons when they are required.
