You fundamentally need the part you "don't want" especially
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
myOptions);
That line effectively creates the map and connects it to the target
div (#map_canvas). Then your later statements feed into it to tell it
more precisely what you want it to display.
A link to your actual page would help us understand more precisely
what you're trying to achieve and whether your code can be refined.
