Andrew, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
The overlay data is in an xml file and is read and parsed using GDownloadUrl. So I'm reading from your response that all the data is handled locally and not via Google. To turn off indexing I added the code you suggested. Please take a quick look at this to make sure I did it right. It's important that I know our data stays within the bounds of our servers and firewall. Thanks again for the help.
