var myOptions = {
zoom: 2,
center: latlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF'
};

In V3, use the backgroundColor property (note the 'color' spelling if
you're from the UK) and give it a color code as a string. Search the
API reference for more info. However, you cannot change the
backgroundColor property dynamically (it must be done during your
onLoad/initialize).

Hi Larry/Kesuke,

Thanks a lot for the help. Background color works fine.
If I have nice background image (ex. bkgrnd.jpg) and I would like to
set that as my googlemap background.
I checked Google Maps API Styled Map Wizard as well but couldn't find
a way to set background image.

Any options to do this ?

regards
Mani.
