we have google maps on our site.. but when we enable the panoramia the whole maps is full of photos which provides the user a cluttered feeling and he cannot see the maps location with the panoramio enabled.

we would like to limit the panoramio populated pics only for the selected area .. when the user finalizes his view location.

Can this sort of requirement be done.? with the api or any javascript tweek ?? 

please let us know would be greatly appreciative of your pointers/advices.

1 and 3 can be done most easily using the Panoramio layers. The only problem is they cover the whole map they are attached to. The way they are connected is not made public so cannot be changed.

2 to limit to a region) what do you mean? a square region, a circle?

I think the easiest thing to do would be have a map with a display of photos underneath it. Then, when the user moves the map, update the photo widget with a new region (a rectangle). Then get the photos displayed in the widget and put their positions on the map, updating when the user scrolls the photos.

(This uses a PhotoRequest object, settable with user id, tags and region, but due to poor documentation you can't use it directly only with a photo widget).
