Are you using the API to display a few hundred polys ? Do you have an example you could post ? The zIndex is not an issue unless the polys overlap. CANVAS uses a different color blending algorithm than SVG. It can be controlled with the "globalCompositeOperation" but to my knowledge, the API does not provide a way to access it. Each CANVAS / SVG / VML element resides in a parent DIV. For CANVAS, polys in the same tile reside in the same CANVAS element. Changing the zIndex of the parent DIV will reprioritize the polys but the results may differ between browsers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
