Get google maps v3 to make the feature fully transparent

Question

We are looking for a way to set styles on a google v3 map so that a given function, such as water, is transparent (i.e. displayed in the background under a holding div) ...?

We tried to set the style this way:

var styles = [ { featureType: "water", stylers: [ { color: none } ] }] map.setOptions({styles: styles}); 

but it just sets the color to the default, which is cyan ... when we want to see the background layer under the whole map ...

thanks

Check out the Stylized Map Wizard (works best in chrome). You can play with all the options. So maybe this is what you need:

  { "featureType": "water", "elementType": "geometry", "stylers": [ { "visibility": "off" } ] } 

Unfortunately, transparency is not a supported stylist .
