Yeah, I actually canned the airport marker as a second KML and just added it as a plain ol' Marker. Works as I need it to now. I've been having the layer-retrieval issues too and figure its because I'm working on my home server. Not the fastest. I'll move it to faster "work" servers and if that doesn't help I will certainly consider putting in a delay or timer. I'd still like to know why I couldn't get the marker kml to render over the polygon KML in IE. Worked fine in Firefox, rendered in the order they were coded. It also rendered fine in IE after I toggled the polygon layer off, then on... just not onload. As for the colors, I certainly agree but I'm not the one in charge and not the GEO Tech producing the KML layer on this project. Thanks for the replies. If someone knows about the IE issue, I would certainly like to hear a solution. I'm beginning to think that KML overlay on Google Maps is a fine idea but not fully matured yet. Certainly easier to just "hardcode" the smaller feature sets. Easier to add functionality to. KML would be fine for managing large layers but then it has retrieval issues too.
