Larry, Thanks for the great info! Yes the reason it was down is because google weather went down. I need to harden the code a bit so that when it is done the error is caught.
I went ahead and did the second option. I declared a global array of all the overlays. Then when I want to display one or more, I have a function that runs through the array and checks the corresponding check box value and either displays it or hides it. Works great, thanks again Larry!
