Removing the pegman from map

[Peter]

Hello,

It looks like a change to the api code today has started showing the
streetview pegman on my map.

I am using

mapOptions.disableDefaultUI = true;

which hides the rest of the controls (pan/zoom/maptype) so I just have
the map and nothing else visible. I'd have expected this to remove the
pegman too.Does anyone know if there is another option for this?

Thanks

Peter

You should be able to set streetViewControl:false in http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#MapOptions

Thanks, that has done the trick.

I'm sure I looked at that documentation this morning and I didn't see
the streetViewControl option.

Thanks for your help.

Would you know how to disable the pegman if you are using an
openlayers viewer instead of the google viewer?

I sure wish I had Peter's magic touch! I agree, something changed
overnight. For months I have been explicitly declaring
'streetViewControl: false' as a mapOption when initializing a map. No
pegman. That no longer works as of this morning, and the pegman has
arrived unwanted to obscure details on my maps. Further invocations
of map.setOptions({streetViewControl: false}); also have no
effect and the pesky critter won't go away. Any more ideas?

Weird! Hiding the street view control is definitely working for me.
For example, try running the following code:

function initialize() {
var mapDiv = document.getElementById('map-canvas');
var map = new google.maps.Map(mapDiv, {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419),
zoom: 13,
streetViewControl: false,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
}

using the Google Code Playground:

http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/#custom_controls_v3

Success?
