Markers in different layers by type

[developer82]

Hi,

I'm new to the Google Maps API. I've created a simple "Hello World" map example, and I've set up a marker on that map.

I have more markers that I want to put on the map, but of different types (categories).

I need to know how I can create layers for each category so all the markers of type "category 1" I will put on the layer of category 1 and the markers of "category 2" I will put on the layer of category 2.

I also want to give the user the option to show or hide these layes - so if the user chooses to hide "category 1" layer all the markers of that category will be removed from the map.

 

Hope I was clear about what I'm trying to do... can this be done? how?

 

Thank you

I ported Mike Williams' (v2) categories example to v3:

And built an example from kml with geoxml3:
