Not a real answer, but if you start the map with:
map.setMapTypeId(google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID);
then the satalite map type does start with the labels enabled.
Switching away and back, remembers the setting. But it doesnt help if want
to start in Map tho.
I have a related question for the floor, is there anyway to disable the
Hybrid (or Physical for that matter), I've included
mapTypeControlOptions: {
mapTypeIds: [google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE]
},
Yet the user can still select "Terrain", or "Labels" from the map type
selector. (I know the mapTypeIds is applying because can remove ROADMAP, to
leave just the SATELLITE)
Say creating a geography game, offer just a styled map without labels, and
Satalite, but the user can still enable Hybrid :(
