remove shadow from FusionTables layers using javascript google map api 3 - google-maps-api-3

hi i have polygon Placemarks using fusion tables, when i try to configure styles i am uable to hide shadows, is is possible to do this using google map js api.
see example here
https://www.google.com/fusiontables/embedviz?viz=MAP&q=select+col0+from+13fHuXHIQB55s_C7tpQQFArYMHORjmmThqK9jarQ&h=false&lat=56.168558817410656&lng=2.1851482391250556&z=7&t=1&l=col0
Also do you think such bulky data can be shown in leafletjs using KML. so that i have more control over it.

Are you aware that you can use your fusion table as a layer on the standard Google Maps API rather than using /embedviz ?
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/layers#FusionTables
That should give you more control over how it's rendered. On a separate note, I'm not sure if this is relevant but I came across it:

Google Maps JS API V3 - Create map and insert fake labels over locations

I'm mocking up an HTML5 web app and I need to incorporate a map with specific locations marked off with custom banners. For the sake of the mockup, I just need to have the default location markers replaced with some sort of graphic of my choosing. How would I do this?
The Maps API documentation has a custom marker icon example (reference). You can use it as a starting point for your own code.

Adding overlays to the Google Maps display itself

I'm looking for a way to add images to the Google Map interface itself, not fixed on a point on the geographical map but on the Google Maps "window". Something to display Map Legends on the map itself.
I've been looking through the net but can't seem to find a way to do this. As you can tell I don't really know what this is called also, so that may be the reason why I ca

Is it possible to create a 'splash' screen using the Google Maps API?

I have built a custom Google Map and When the page loads I would like a 'splash screen' to appear over the map inside the map container (this would be an image with some instructions), which could then either be toggled off or would disappear after a set time.
I know that I can do this using CSS/JQuery to create a layer over the map container, but is it possible to do this using the map API?
You could use overlays or a custom infowindow (infobox).
I would suggest overlays. Their existence is for displaying components
over the map. Infowindow would suffice too, but their role is for displaying something
in relation to a specific spot on the map.

Google maps api marker info in sidebar

I'm currently creating an interactive web map using Google Maps Javascript API version 3. I'm not sure if this is possible but I would like to create a series of map layers consisting of different kml files that could be toggled from the side bar. I would also like to be able to access the individual points within the kmls so that when the user clicks on a particular point, photos, text etc. can be loaded outside the map window...
Any ideas on how to accomplish this? I've been searching for a while and only found ways of configuring the infowindow which I personally find unattractive...
There is a way to load KML into a google maps application natively, there is actually a pretty good example of how this is done here:
http://gmaps-samples-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/layers/layers.html
One trick I will mention is that since the KML is downloaded to Google's servers in order to be rendered on the map, it must exist on a public facing web server somewhere, Google won't be able to access it from your local machine.
I found this tutorial which seems like it'll do the trick!

How to display area borders in embedded map

When i am searching for some country area in maps on standard web UI it shows me the area borders.
I would like to mark this areas dynamically in embedded map on my website, but i dont know how exactly i have to formulate search query to find if there is some way to achieve this.
I was not found anything about this in reference.
does google offer some API for this in last maps js API?
You need a Polygon-Overlay or a KML-Layer which defines the borders.
