Take the 2-minute tour ×  I try to draw a very large dataset on
google map (2500+ rectangles). The rendering of the rectangles
take more than 5 secs. The whole page just stuck for the 5 secs,

rending (start,finish rendering).  I checked the google maps Api
documentation, did not find anything useful. Just what to know
whether there is some work around or something I miss in the api
doc that can help me to trap rendering events.  share|improve
