I would like to find a Google Maps API v3 friendly way to add textures (my own images) to elements such as roads, grass, and water. I know you can change the colors of various elements, but I want to do more.
I’m curious if anyone knows if this can be done at a large scale (not just a single area but the whole world).
I have some ideas beyond the API but I would like to see if this could work first.
Thanks.
If I am understanding your question correctly, I do not believe that there is currently a way to do that easily and reliably using Google Maps API v3.
If I wanted to have such a feature, I’d look at OpenLayers and Google Earth API. I have no idea if either support such a feature, but that’s where I’d look first.
You may be able to do something fairly involved to achieve this affect with Google Maps API v3, but it might be a lot of work and could be very difficult to do reliably.
