V2 had a very handy method getArea(), which is missing now. Could you please get it back? Or to post code from v2 as a workaround. ********************************************************* For developers viewing this issue: please click the 'star' icon to be notified of future changes, and to let us know how many of you are interested in seeing it resolved. *********************************************************

I wish there was more demand for this feature. It'd be of great use to me

I did some comparing and it looks like that script is good, but in google maps api they use 6378137 metres as Earth radius. If you change it in that script you will get almost the same results.

It doesn't work for me either and it has not been added to the API V3 Reference yet. Thanks for the great enhancements :)

The GPolygon.getArea() function has been replaced by the google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeArea() function in the spherical geometry library. Be sure to load this library when loading the API: https://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/basics.html#Libraries Then call: var area = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeArea(polygon.getPath());
