When will Google publish the next generation of Google Maps API ? It seems that the V3 hasn't been changed for a long time.

I'm a deadly fan of Google Maps JavaScript API from China.However,Google has done nothing when Baidu publish its more powerful BMaps API.

If there are features in the Baidu Maps API that you'd like to see in the Google Maps JavaScript API, please don't hesitate to file feature requests for them: http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/list

For example, Baidu has polyline style "solid" and "dashed"....we've
been asking for dashed polylines since at least 2009. (Yes, there's
already a feature request for that.)

As I said also long time ago: Feature requests and bug reports are
barely recognized. A few of them will be taken randomly and as they
please - but never systematically.

But don't worry, I would do the same if I were you.

SVG supports it directly. CANVAS requires the line to be broken into
pieces.

The use of tiles will produce an ugly result unless the break points
match in different tiles. Typically, different tiles will display
different pieces of the poly which will not have synchronized break
points.
