How to set the "Google Earth Plugin" view as default in a Google Maps iframe?

Question

I am using this Example and I want to set Google EARTH as default view.

Answer 1

Use setMapType to set the desired mapType:

 map.setMapType(G_SATELLITE_3D_MAP);

---

<edit>:

The linked example uses the Maps-API V2, for V3 it's little bit different. Wait for the idle-event of the map and set the mapType to 'GoogleEarthAPI' .

Go to line 116 of your document and modify it:

if (isGEinstalled)
{
googleEarth = new GoogleEarth(map);
//add the following line
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map,'idle',function(){map.setMapTypeId('GoogleEarthAPI')});
}
else
{
  alert("O plugin de Google Earth não está instalado");
}
