can anyone tell me what the translation from v2 to v3 of this line of code is please?
map.getPane(G_MAP_FLOAT_SHADOW_PANE)
I know it's related to - google.maps.MapPanes but not sure of the syntax.
You will need to use a custom overlay. For information on adding overlays to specific panes see here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays.html#Initializing
you should use
map.getPanes().floatShadow
to get floatShadow pane object.

I am trying to do: map.setHeading(180) but this doesn't work and map remains heading to north. Everything else is working - I am using the very basic template of Gmaps from their docs, zoomings, pannings, markers and other things work as excepted, but the heading not. What am I missing in here?
For example, I got the position and heading from the GPS and I move the marker using marker.setPosition(position) which also works as excepted.
Tilt and rotation are now supported programmatically and by user input when using WebGL rendering. Please see https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/webgl/tilt-rotation for documentation and examples.
Try beta version of JavaScript API. add v=beta in url.
The reason for this is that you can use setHeading if your map is displaying 45 degrees imagery as stated on the documentation.
It looks like your use case is the same as this existing Feature Request which is requesting for a feature to change the orientation of the map. You can star the issue to receive updates regarding the issue. You can also leave a comment on the issue regarding your use case.
i have this link:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Zagreb,+Croatia&aq=&sll=45.808351,15.897484&sspn=0.010066,0.016544&vpsrc=0&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Zagreb,+Croatia&t=p&z=14&ll=45.794222,16.048298&output=embed
and wish to have the controls (currently in TOP LEFT position) in the
LEFT_CENTER position as indicated here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/controls#ControlPositioning
what to add to the URL?
thnx
TL;DR: You can't do this.
This is one instance where the API has more functionality than Google Maps.
There is a list of Maps parameters in Mapki — changing the position of controls isn't mentioned.
If you want to do more, you really need to use the API, which is what is covered by the documentation you referenced: that doesn't apply to Google Maps.
i'm new to gooogle map developing.i want to make a map as follows.
http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/world/arab-unrest/index.html
But i have no idea how to start this development.Could someone please tell me the way to do this? If you have any worked through examples, that would be a real help!
If you haven't, I recommend you start with Google Maps API Tutorial on http://econym.org.uk/gmap/
First of all - do you want replace the images for maps? If so, you've got troubles - no one is going to make that, and Google maps are provided as is.
If you simply want to add some layers with animation - try to read the docs about overlays.

I have been doing so much research and yet to find the exact answer to help me. I need to convert my map at http://www.uaf.edu/campusmap/ from V2 to V3 so I can try to combine it with my fusion tables. It uses tiles made by Map Tiler. Is there anyone who can help me out?
I guess you need to port the whole map to V3 and use Custom Map Types.
BTW, you're loading the API twice, once from http://www.uaf.edu/files/campusmap/ and then again from http://www.uaf.edu/files/campusmap/campusmap-122311.html -- which is loaded in an iframe. Probably better to remove one of them, I think you can get rid of the first one.
I think there are two main things you'll need to worry about when converting to v3:
GTileOverlay doesn't exist in v3. You can use Custom Map Types, as per the pp.
To do this, you'll want to make an ImageMapType (see the docs). You'll then need to add this to the Map.overlayMapTypes MVCArray (which will display it above the base map - Map reference).
There's nothing like GDownloadUrl and GXml for downloading and parsing an XML document in v3. You'll need to use a generic library like jQuery to help downloading your marker locations.
i want google maps api (javascript) to display map but i want use flash(swf) file as front end is it possible? also i want create controls in flash and communctation with javascript to update map.
