[Google Maps API v3] Re: Changing Overlay Opacity - what is the right way?

If you use MapType instead of ImageMapType you have a handle to the IMG objects that hold the tiles, (because you create them). With that handle you can set the opacity directly, and there's no need to add/remove. http://maps.forum.nu/v3/gm_customTiles.html -- Marcelo - http://maps.forum.nu --
