Was busy porting over some source codes from an existing job listing website into socketloop.com last week.
However, during the testing phase .....found out that the old Google Maps URL parameters query no longer worked.
Forturnately, after reading and re-read the latest Google Maps documentation. This new query parameters worked well (September 2014) :
https://maps.google.com/?q={name of the place you want to query}&ll={latitude},{longtitude}&t={map type}&z={zoom level}
Map types :
m – normal map
k – satellite
h – hybrid
p – terrainFor example :
https://maps.google.com/?q=suria+klcc&ll=3.1582471,101.7131504&t=h&z=19
As for my own use, this URL
https://maps.google.com/?&ll={latitude},{longtitude}&t=k}&z=11
works just fine and dandy.
Give it a try and leave comments below if it doesn't work out well for you.
