hi there, is there a way to resolve or parse the google map embed URL
so that the look and feel can be replicated using the javascript API?
for example i have this URL "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=business
+center
+havnegade&hl=da&ved=0CDEQpQY&ei=KbfYTMX8L5HsvgO3mqHFCQ&sspn=0.075595,0.222988&ie=UTF8&view=map&cid=4420044108025175338&iwloc=A&sa=X",
how can i use that URL so that when i load a map using the javascript
API, it will have the same exact look?,,, this URL doesn't even have
the latlng attribute but instead it uses the cid to locate a
particular place, of which is not included in the javascript API how
to load a map location using the CID value
so that the look and feel can be replicated using the javascript API?
for example i have this URL "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=business
+center
+havnegade&hl=da&ved=0CDEQpQY&ei=KbfYTMX8L5HsvgO3mqHFCQ&sspn=0.075595,0.222988&ie=UTF8&view=map&cid=4420044108025175338&iwloc=A&sa=X",

This link has basically the same behavior: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=business+center+havnegade.
You could probably ignore the CID and reverse geocode the search term
(q).

but am i right to say that using reverse geocode is the same as searching, so if there are identical places to the place that i am searching then i'm also going to get those items, i want to be able to use the CID in the javascript API so that i can be exact with my locations

You are correct on reverse geocoding. Unfortunately there is no way to use the maps.google.com CID in the JavaScript API.
