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

# Describe your issue
When a screen reader (SR) user places focus on the map, the SR announces "Map map." Our company is using the Google Map API and gets the same results as the Google Map dev search mode map.
Applies to:
JAWS / Firefox / Desktop
NVDA / Chrome / Desktop
NVDA / Firefox / Desktop
# Please report the version of Google Maps API
# Open the developer console and type: 'google.maps.version' and then press enter.
# Example:
# > google.maps.version
# <- "3.34.7"
# What steps will reproduce the problem? Please also provide a code sample which demonstrates your issue (e.g. via
1. go to
2. Turn the SR on
3. [TAB] to the "search mode" map
4. Observe the SR announce "Map map"
Expected Result:
Only "Map" is announced when an SR user places focus on the Map.
Actual Result
When an SR user places focus on the Map it announces "Map" twice, "Map map."
