Google Maps V3: How to disable “street view”?

Question

There is a \"person\" icon which allows user to view \"Street View\". I don\'t want this functionality on my map, is there a way to remove it or disable it?

Street V

Answer 1

I'd like to add to the chosen answer and say that if you want to remove the zoom controls (plus-minus buttons) too, then change

  streetViewControl: false,

with

   disableDefaultUI: true,

It was more useful for a mobile touchscreen, since you can zoom in with two fingers.
