What exactly "draw topology" do you need?
Some GUI based on LLDP protocol that will create network map/scheme automatically?
Or some GUI based on test properties and earth map (so you can specify where monitored devices located and use google maps to see your network)?

Some GUI based on LLDP protocol that will create network map/scheme automatically? no not this kind of . because network is complex, in fact any soft can not automatically discover topo that meet in fact need.

we need some GUI based on test properties such as :snmp /ping.
so we can draw any topo we need，
when cpu 、memery or others high，the device icon turn red。
when the link between device no reacheable,or high packet drop, or
high response, the line icon between of device turn yellow or turn red.

because HM is ALREADY SO powerful ,it can monitor any properties of device / of any link between device, so i think HM CAN draw any network topo,
draw any lifely topology. an active topology

because most of leader like GUI...

We are considering both options, probably can be implemented in version 10.

BTW:
we were thinking about maps based on Google Maps API but this means you will need license from Google that can cost over $10,000 per year. This is much more than Advanced Host Monitor Enterprise license costs, I assume not many of our customers will use such tool.

On the other hand, may be you already have such Google license?
How many of you have Enterprise Google Maps API license?
