In google earth there is a nice feature where I can install a kml file and it loads it in such a way so that I toggle different layers. In google maps I am looking for a way to display the kml file in a similar way. I want to have a sidebar where I can choose which layers to display. I have found this:

but it looks like it only works with google maps v2. Is there anything similar that will work with v3?

I found this QA, but I’m looking for something to use with V3

My body:

<body onload='load()' style = "height:100%; margin:0">
<div id="map" style="width: 100%; height: 100%"></div>

 <script type="text/javascript">
//************Function in head***************************************************
        function load() {

        var myOptions = {

        //change this to zoom with markers
          center: new google.maps.LatLng(60, 5),
          zoom: 4,
          mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
        };

        map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"),myOptions);
        ctaLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer('http://thoughtfi.com/NPDsFactGlobe.kml');
        ctaLayer.setMap(map);   
       }
    //load();

    var map;
    var ctaLayer;
    var markersArray = [];
    var startformat;
    var endformat;

</script>
