Here is the snippet I am using to display Google map on my app using their V3 Javascript API.
var myOptions = { zoom: 15, mapTypeId:
You can remove all the default UI
var mapOptions = { zoom: 15, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP, disableDefaultUI: true }; var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);
And then you can add your own controls
Or you can just add mapTypeControl: false
mapTypeControl: false
