Hi,

Is there a way to alter the opacity of a v3 google.maps.GroundOverlay
object?

For instance ...

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/groundoverlay-simple.html

Using this example I'd like to see what's beneath the overlay (Newark,
NJ) while keeping the overlay map visible to the user.

There's an alternative approach via google.maps.OverlayView() but
having an accessible object literal 'opacity' for GroundOverlay would
be nice.

thx,
g

On searching this list (after posting) I found a solution,

John D. Coryat's ProjectedOverlay extension
http://www.usnaviguide.com/v3maps/ProjectedOverlayTest.htm
contains a function setOpacity() that works with v3.
