title: Google Maps API v3 Highlight Country Border without using Polygons
body: <p>I need to highlight the border of a country - let's say Switzerland. I achieved it with already with FusionTablesLayer like:</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="false" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-js lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>        var layer = new google.maps.FusionTablesLayer({
                      query: {
                          select: 'geometry',
                          from: '1N2LBk4JHwWpOY4d9fobIn27lfnZ5MDy-NoqqRpk',
                          where: "ISO_2DIGIT IN ('CH')"
                      },
                      styles: [
                          {
                              polygonOptions: {
                                  strokeColor: "#FF0000",
                                  fillOpacity: "0"
                              }
                          }
                      ]
                  });
  
                  layer.setMap(map);</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
  
  <p>The problem hereby is, that the drawn border is too straight</p>

  <p>Is there any possibility to use some kind of search request, because if I go to Google Maps and search for Switzerland the country borders are highlighted in a light pink. This would already fullfil my requirements. See <a href="https://www.google.at/maps/place/Schweiz/@47.079443,8.1198399,8z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x478c64ef6f596d61:0x5c56b5110fcb7b15" rel="noreferrer">Maps</a></p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
