Nope, no modification to the ModestMap base. I just created a custom "PolygonMarker" class that draws polygons from an array of Locations.

You're welcome to include that in the ModestMap base (I can check it in actually), but I think it needs to be a slight bit more robust.

Displaying Shapefile (.shp) Polygons on a ModestMap

I created a flex project that parses Shapefiles into polygons for display on a modestmap. The demo comes with source code and useful relevant information.

apparently mxml code doesn't show up here very well

working on posting an example
yea... I can't figure out how to post mxml code in this forum, but the basics are below... You'll need the "mapTileDataProvider:ArrayCollection", basically. Just make that the dataProvider of a combo box. Then set your maps "provider" to use "{comboBox.selectedItem as IMapProvider}".

I'd also love to see how you got marker (pointer) to work so well.

How to become an SVN contributor?

I'm interested in adding my contributions to the ModestMaps project. I believe I can help flush out some features, and have already made a few improvements.

Specifically, I have extensive experience in AS3. I'm using ModestMaps for several projects, and have made my own little code base of fixes/addendums for those projects.
