Google Maps -> Displaying only country borders and onclick event

Question

Hi Everyone,

Is there anyone experienced on Google Maps? I am planning to add a world map to my web service and then display number of statistics for each country I specify.

I can specify map type by "mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP" but there's no map type to show country borders only.

Any suggestions?

Thanks. Mat.

Google Maps allow you to style the maps, ie change the different elements (roads, ...) representations. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/maptypes.html#StyledMaps

Here is the full list of styleable elements: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#MapTypeStyleFeatureType
