Yes, I am trying to update the rtEditLayer. When changes are made via maps.google.com, they take some time to show up on the map at bike.zgroks.com ... I don't know if it's reasonable to expect the updates to show up right away, but the sooner that they showed up, the better. What I'm wondering is can I put a random parameter in the rtEditLayer_url when I call it through the edit_map function and if I do that will it affect anything (i.e., does maps.google.com cache the url)
