We are building a polygon array with a click event: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/polygon-arrays
However, looking for keyboard accessibility, we are not able to trigger the information dialog using a keyboard similar to how to map markers can be triggered using arrow keys:https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/marker-accessibility
Is there something we can do about it?
Thank you!
Map version: 3.49.12

Hi All,
Are there any updates or plans on the roadmap to make this autocomplete feature accessible? Will the priority ever go up?

I am facing the same issue. As a branch of state government, we are under federal mandate to have our sites digitally accessible by 2026. Currently, the places autocomplete does not announce as a drop down list to screen readers. The best I can do at this time is add the aria-autocomplete attribute to the control, but that is insufficient.
Description
Place Autocomplete: no way for screen readers to know that the search box transforms to a combobox when it's listing predictions
# Please report the version of Google Maps API
v.3.45.8b
v3.46.9
v3.46.9-beta
# Steps:
- Turn on Screen Reader
- Access:
- Tab thru the page until focus is on the Place Autocomplete search box
- Type in some search characters
- Issue: Screen Reader just says the characters typed in, not instructive enough that the search box becomes a combobox listing address predictions
