Layer for everything exept one country?

[OscarWilde]

Hi all,

I want to "hightlight" the visitors country by building a layer for
everthing exept his own country. How can I do that?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

not sure whether a simple KML would be an option. If kml can handle
holes within polygons!?
I did it using an image overlay. You can find a working example here:

You can do it with custom tiles, like this:

but to do so on the visitors country you'd have to build a tile set
for every country in the world and subscribe to an IP-to-location
service in order to determine which tile set to load.
