Google has just announced Street View support for the Google Maps API v3! I have already taken the liberty of implementing a quick method on the PHPGoogleMapAPI class (called enable/disableStreetViewControls() ). Check out the demo or head on over to Google to read more details on the announcement.
(Special thanks to GoogleMapsMania blog for details on how to implement before the docs were even released – kudos!)
« New Features: Elevation Charts and Map Type Controls options.


I was very glad to find your php google maps api. I am using the multi marker here
http://www.bradwedell.com/phpgooglemapapi/demos/multiple_markers_coords.php
But would like the default view to be map, not satellite, and zoomed out to the maximum, can you please tell me what settings or code I need for that? Thank you very much in advance.

$googlemap_object -> disableZoomEncompass() , $googlemap_object -> setZoomLevel( $zoomlevel ) , and $googlemap_object -> setMapType(“map”)
