Fusion table api map not showing styles after table update

Question

I\'m relatively new to the Fusion Tables Api and I am trying to create a simple web app using Fusion Tables and Google Maps Api. The application will be used about three times a

It's an API-issue, the tiles created to display the layers will also be cached by google.

What you can do: modify the queries, so that it still fetches the same results, but the String-representation for the query is different. This should speed-up the tile-update(and prevent from client-side caching).

Taking your code it could be done like this:

var and=' Location does not contain "'+new Date().getTime()+'"';

 layer = new google.maps.FusionTablesLayer({
    query: {
      select: "geometry",
      from: '11CIZUlNjBPiOM1Y4pDUP_Mn9TxkqF0etfpWhi5c',
      where: and
    },
    styles:[
    {
        polygonOptions:{
                fillColor: '#FF0000',         
                fillOpacity: 0.05 
                }
    },
    {
        where: "Location LIKE 'PERDUE' and "+and,
        polygonOptions: {
        //fillColor: '#0000FF'
        fillOpacity:0.2
        } 
    },
    {
        where: "GeoBlock = 'AC1C' and "+and,
        polygonOptions: {
        //fillColor: '#0000FF'
        fillOpacity:0.8
        }
    },
    {
        where: "Location = 'BENGOUGH' and "+and,
        polygonOptions: {
        //fillColor: '#0000FF'
        fillOpacity:0.99
        }  
    }]
  });

Instead of using new Date().getTime() I would suggest to use(when available) e.g. the timestamp of the last modification so that the cached tiles still may be used when no update has been done.
