Question

I am trying to remove all the controls (zoom, map type drop down, and street view) from my map.

There’s a method

map.removeControl(GControl)

but I haven’t been able to successfully remove any default ones that I hadn’t added myself.

Any tips on remove/clearing all controls from the map?

Have you tried this:

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/controls.html#DisablingDefaults

function initialize() {
  var myOptions = {
    zoom: 4,
    center: new google.maps.LatLng(-33, 151),
    disableDefaultUI: true,
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP  
  }
  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
       myOptions);
}
