I'm very interested in using the Maps extension, but I'd like to
overlay a vector layer, e.g. to show the extents of a park, city, etc.
Has anyone considered adding such support to the extension? I'm also
interested in a lightweight alternative to OpenLayers, namely Leaflet
[0]. Also check out the new Leaflet Vector Layers [1].
I suppose the biggest question is where should the vector data come
from. For simple polygons with a few dozen points it could be passed
in directly. With Vector Layers you can pull data from GeoCommons [2]
and other databases easily.
