panTo() functionality example?

[Mike]

Hi, I looked around the v3 site, but couldn't find an example of how
to implement the panTo functionality. I am developing locally, so I
don't have a link to share.

What I am trying to do is this: In a separate div, I would like a user
to click a link, and the map move to that point.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Your map and panPoint must be global variables (defined outside
intialize()).

var panPoint = new google.maps.LatLng(number, number);

In html:

<a href="javascript:map.panTo(panPoint)">Pan</a>

Thanks for responding Esa, I tried it and it is outside the initialize
function, but I get a JS error is Firebug:

map is not defined
javascript:map.panTo(panPoint)()

I am going to play around with it, but if you have any quick thoughts,
I'd like to hear them.

Thanks again,
Mike

Here's an example. Notice that map is defined outside the initialize
function:

Chad, outstanding! From your example I see what I was doing wrong &
got my code to work correctly.
Thanks for the help,
