Did anyone ever get the map type controls working with maps that can
switch to Earth? I did not see an example, but in my tests have seen some
odd behavior.
By default, I come up in hybrid mode and display the following map type
options in the map type control: "Map", "Satellite", "Hybrid", "Terrain",
and "Earth".
1) It seems like recently, maybe about the time I added the ability to add
the Google bar, the map comes up in the right size and then suddenly gets
a little taller. This might not be a problem, but when switching to Earth
view, you see the bottom part of the previous view.
2) After switching to Earth view, the map type control disappears. I have
been able to get it to reappear by calling some non-Earth type of
functions. However, when using GMenuMapTypeControl, the control does not
popup the "menu" and therefore does not let me switch views.
