Google Maps - New Features

Google continue to tweak Google Maps API code. Current version is v2.58

This brings in a few nice functions

• draggable icons
• draggable lines
  
• continuous (or animated) zoom
• create holes (creating a hole on the same map from map mode to satellite)
• hide controls (possible that function violates the Terms of Use)

lots of these function have be converted into examples
