It can't be done directly with either KmlLayer or FusionTablesLayer (at least currently). > > The drop down list was entered using HTML. I have seen similar examples http://www.advocacy.ucla.edu/Maps/Assembly_map.html > using fusion tables. Am i better off using this approach? Depends on what you are comfortable with. That map uses the geoxml3 extension to google maps. Your kml is fairly complex (lots of small polylines), so you probably want to use either KmlLayer or FusionTablesLayer to display it, then implement the highlighting/zoom to functionality using geoxml3. http://www.geocodezip.com/geoxml3_test/v3_geoxml3_kmltest_linktoB.html?filename=http://www.geocodezip.com/geoxml3_test/existing_kml.xml http://www.geocodezip.com/geoxml3_test/v3_geoxml3_kmltest_linktoB.html?filename=http://www.geocodezip.com/geoxml3_test/fiveyr_kml.xml > If this approach is better, how can I convert my KML into a visualized fusion > table that keeps the same color > formatting? I don't know of any way. You might vote for this enhancement request: http://code.google.com/p/fusion-tables/issues/detail?id=594 The only way I know to do it is to create a column and use that to style the polylines, given that the styling already exists in your kml, it would be really nice if you could import that with your kml. -- Larry > > Thank You -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
