Yup, you're right - my solution only works if you want to *start *in
SATELLITE mode. And the behavior you describe is what I *prefer *for
automatic behavior. And I suspect we could poll users and get 50% of them
agreeing with me, 50% agreeing with you. But I always go back to how it
generally appears in maps.google.com as how my users will *expect *it to
work. (Even though the switching mechanism is slightly different in
maps.google.com now, with the bigger buttons, when you switch to Satellite
view, you get labels on by default.)
The only way I know how to accomplish what you're looking for is to point to
version 3.3 and add the following to your map options:
mapTypeControlOptions: {
mapTypeIds: [google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE]
},
With version 3.3, even if you start at ROADMAP type, the above
typecontroloptions will get you your "clean" Satellite look.
