How can I display my polygon behind the kml layer?
I have a kml layer imported into a Google Maps canvas. In addition, I applied a polygon that is drawn on the canvas whenever you click Draw.
The problem is that when you click Draw, the polygon is drawn on top of the kml markers. Thus, I cannot click the marker and render their respective names. In other words, I would like to know which markers are included inside the drawn polygon, and for this I will need to click the marker and see its corresponding name.
I believe the solution is to use panels. I know about the panels and the order in which they are located, but I do not know how to implement the solution using them.
To follow, I include my code in much the same way as mine, so you can see what I'm talking about and test it yourself. The only difference is that I do not include my key for GoogleMaps, so where you see API_KEY , replace it with your own key. Thanks in advance.
