Hello Everybody,

I am new to Google Maps API but I am familiar with Google Earth Plugin API. I wanted know how to toggle (hide/show) the Zoom, Pan, Scale, MapType, Street View, Overview Map controls in Maps API V3, which can be easily achieved in Google Earth Plugin API - like in the following example .

Regards,
Shiva

Hello Shreerang,

    Thanks for replying. That worked. Is there a direct way to find whether the controls already visible/enabled or vice versa, i.e, the current status of the control on the map?

As per reference material @ http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html

I'd advise using the google.maps.MapOptions object in a more global
sense and updating that before pushing it onto the map as a convention
based approach to maintaining state.

There may be a better direct have from the google.maps.Map object

Hi Shiva,

google.maps.mapOptions object has a disableDefaultUI property, which has a boolean value. You can use this to check whether the controls are present or absent.
