Polygon Arrays

This example creates a map with a simple polygon which displays information in response to a click event.

Read the documentation.

// This example creates a simple polygon representing the Bermuda Triangle.
// When the user clicks on the polygon an info window opens, showing
// information about the polygon's coordinates.
