Question

I need to have a custom control on my Google Map v3 so I can take control of the focus for dpad navigation on GoogleTV. I am looking for a way to pan with each click of the directional arrows…just like the built in panControl. Is there public methods to pan right, left, down, and up?

Answer 1

Look at the reference on google.maps.Map methods, in particular method panBy():

panBy(x:number, y:number) …… Changes the center of the map by the
given distance in pixels. If the distance is less than both the width
and height of the map, the transition will be smoothly animated. Note
that the map coordinate system increases from west to east (for x
values) and north to south (for y values).
