Styling Google Earth Plugin borders layer

Question

I have my map, in 3d and I want to style it so that only counties with markers have a certain color. I also want to change the boundary color. I am using v3 of the Google Maps Api to load the earth. Is there a way to customize the map (3d) and also change the color of the borders in the in-built layer.

Example 3d map

I am using google earth. The one that rotates the whole globe. Its not a flat map but a 3D representation of the globe. – Connoisseur

Answer 1

The borders layer you refer to is simply on or off, there are no methods to style it or alter its behaviour.

If you wish to have a custom data layer to show borders then you must construct it using KML.

You can obtain the data freely for this (country borders) any one of these links should help.
