Multiple tables visualized on one map

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What new feature would you like to see implemented? How will you use it?

To be able to see multiple tables visualized on one map. Currently to compare 
two maps I have to go between tabs. This would be analogous to layers

This is already possible with the FusionTablesLayer - simply put layers from 
two different tables on the map.   Is your request to make it easy to do this 
within the Fusion Tables website?

Do you mean to import rows into the same table? If I have 2 or more datasets I 
might want to remove one and not the other, replacing with updated versions for 
example. If it could work like using layers in any GIS application you find, 
that would be much easier and more intuitive, especially if joe bloggs comes 
across the map and wants to turn data on and off.

Yes, please make it easier!

Here's sample code for how to present two tables' data on one map. 
http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/fusiontables/multiple_layers_per_m
ap.html

You can add checkboxes or other controls to the page to turn them on and off. 

Does this do the trick for you?

Yes and no... I currently have no idea how to add code to anything! In any 
case, I am working with people who are in the same boat and would struggle 
without a UI addition which would effect the same as the code you supplied.

The FusionTablesLayer Builder 
(http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/fusiontables/fusiontableslayer_bu
ilder.html) is an easy to use user interface (UI) that allows multiple fusion 
tables to be displayed on the same map, without knowing anything about code. It 
generates code that can then be copied/pasted onto any web page.  The UI can 
only combine two map layers, but if you look at the code generated it is pretty 
easy to see how to add more layers by copy/pasting a few additional lines of 
codes and modifying a few things like layer number and table ID number.

I agree with the original request on this one.  I spent a good 4 hours learning 
how to use the Layer Builder.  I was looking to map individual locations within 
zipcode boundaries.  I was able to do it after finding the solution of the 
Layer Builder but it seems like a really good feature would be to allow this to 
be done right within the Visualizations options of the Fustion Tables 
application.  I'm a business user that needs to show a visual representation of 
lots of geographic based data elements, I don't want to worry about the code.  
Thanks for your consideration of adding this feature

I don't mind fiddling with a bit of code. For example, I would find it useful 
to have code generated that I could insert into a WordPress blog page or post 
that would show 2 or more layers on the same map. That said, I don't specialize 
in coding, and have little time or patience to become an experienced coder. I 
can tweak code.

Something like the Folders feature (plus a settable layer Visibility attribute) 
in Google Earth would do the trick for me. Would be nice if this could be done 
via the FT UI and not require code for static requirements of combining 
multiple tables for display.

Hello.
I have done this using the 'get kml network link' and by adding a folder in 
google earth and add links. This is great because you can share this but when 
you change between systems you loose the style or you simply can't apply the 
same.
