Hi. Boston here. You know, the city across the river from some of your offices. We were poking around the internet yesterday and found out that you’re planning to offer an online trip planning guide for New York City.

Million Marker Map
The million-marker map is an experimental set of Flash and JavaScripts add-ons to the Google Maps API that allows you to display and interact with very large data sets on a regular Google map. The map also offers a way to select markers with a paintbrush; you can geographically constrain queries by painting a region on the map, like using the QuickMask tool in Photoshop.
