get google maps v3 to make feature completely transparent

We are searching for a way to set the styles on google v3 map so that a given feature - such as water - is transparent (ie shows through to the background beneath the holding div)... ?

We have tried with setting the styling with something like this: 

var styles = [
      {
        featureType: "water",
        stylers: [
          { color: none }
        ]
      }]
map.setOptions({styles: styles});

but this simply sets the color to the map default which is light blue... when what we want is to see the background layer underneath the whole map...

thanks

Check out the Styled Maps Wizard (works best in chrome). You can play with all options. So maybe this is what you need:

  {
    "featureType": "water",
    "elementType": "geometry",
    "stylers": [
      { "visibility": "off" }
    ]
  }

Sadly it seems that opacity is not a supported styler.
