Well, I gave up on using KML layers. Instead, I used javascript to do it all. In order to get the labels to show right, I used a custom overlay, as described here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays.html#CustomOverlays
So, my problem still exists, but I figured out a way around it. On Aug 23, 4:16 pm, Jerrac <[email protected]> wrote: > I created a polygon with 50% opacity.
