A couple of weeks ago I had to create a Google Map, and they wanted it to fit to their website.  I found out that a new version of Google Maps (v3) had been released, and decided to use Google Maps v3. After a while I noticed that there are still limited options in this new version.

Customizing controls
For example, I wanted to customize the control buttons, but it was really hard to find some information about it, since Google Maps still doesn’t support this. After a long search I finally found a script in which you are able customize the controls (from this site). You can see the customized Google Map here.

Some usefull links

• Google Maps API v3
• Tutorials – many tutorials, most of them are for v3.
• The basics – this one could be usefull if you’re new to v3.
• Geocoding - convert street addresses to coordinates.
