Tried that and it works! Turned up a couple of things. In changelog at:
http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/wiki/JavascriptMapsAPIv3Changelog Entry marked: 3.1 Jul 22, 2010 gives info. on a change to the API: * Clicking on a KML overlay no longer fires a map click event and also this post: http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=2422 Comment #2 says: supressInfoWindows is not the same a setting clickable to false, but Kml Layers do not have a clickable property. I have filed a feature request for this. So hopefully this will get sorted eventually. Many thanks Ben!
