{"url":"https://userstyles.org/styles/3758/google-maps-max","name":"Google Maps Max","description":"*** Update 4 March, 2010 ***  This style doesn't really work at all as intended anymore.  You might try the updated style, which still looks OK and makes the map bigger, but lots of things aren't being hidden anymore that used to be.  I'd avoid this now unless you want to dig in and figure out a better way to make it work with the newest version of Google Maps.  \r\n\r\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nHi! This was my first shot at stealing some of the good ideas of others and teaching myself about CSS; to make a new style for Google Maps.\r\nYou might prefer my newer \"Google Maps Max Updated!\" http://userstyles.org/styles/3782 unless you hate the turn-by-turn directions sidebar and don't ever want to see it again!\r\nI now use this (with the header changed to GMaps' alternate domain) when I want to use Google Maps as an Atlas to look up some part of the world.\r\n\r\nWhat this one does:\r\n\r\n1) Removes the Google logo, toolbars, and sidebar, and such so that the map itself is as large as possible.\r\n2) Removes the Google copyright from the map.\r\n3) Enlarges the inset map, bottom right, by a factor of four.\r\n4) Preserves the \"Street View / Traffic / Map / Satellite / Hybrid\" Buttons upper right.\r\n5) Preserves the navigation tool upper left, and the Search Box and \"Search Map\" button to it's left.\r\n\r\nWhat this one does not do:\r\n\r\n6) Make anything transparent.\r\n7) Use any on-hover effects.\r\n8) Change the mapping features (No deleted markers or drop shadows on the info boxes; which seemed to cause Gmaps not to work correctly on one of the other styles).\r\n\r\nAdditional Before \u0026 After Pictures:\r\nhttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/CTskydiver/GoogleMapsMaxBefore.jpg\r\nhttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/CTskydiver/GoogleMapMaxOriginal.jpg\r\n\r\nThis style is based on \"Google Maps - Full Screen\" but I removed a bit and added the larger inset from \"Google Maps - Minimal\" and of course removed the copyright notice as done on \"Google maps - remove copyright and terms of use\".\r\n\r\nAnother thing changed is I made the style effective only on the domain \"maps.google.com\".  I chose that domain because it is called by the \"Map This\" Firefox extension.  However, since my Google Maps Max hides the written turn-by-turn directions* (which I hardly ever use) I wanted to be able to open the standard Google Maps interface should the need arise.  This is possible using the other Google Maps address, \"www.Google.com/maps\".  Two Google Maps bookmarks (one to each address) now live side by side in my bookmarks toolbar.  (This is faster than turning the style on and off). \r\n\r\n*I've since updated this style to return the sidebar feature!  I now use this and \"Google Maps Max Updated\" together! Just change the domain as instructed in the code below, and bookmark both Google Maps portals!\r\n\r\nThanks!\r\n\r\n***\r\nPer comment below:\r\n\r\nThat instruction applies to folks hosting a map through Google's API on their own web page.  You may not alter the map Google provides in any way to your downstream viewers.  That's fair.  This style just hides and rearranges elements of a page inside the end user's browser, on their own hardware, and I don't think that applies.\r\n\r\nHowever, if you prefer, remove this bit of code if you want to see the copyright notice:\r\n\r\n#map\u003ediv:first-child+div\u003e*\r\n{display:none !important;}\r\n\r\n***\r\nI edited a Custom Button I found here (http://custombuttons.phpbbnow.com/viewtopic.php?t=108\u0026highlight=\u0026sid=415e260cef2a8ca29431df2941b6447a)  to give left-click access to Stylish in the sidebar.  \r\n\r\nMy button's initialization code is: \r\n\r\nthis.textResize = function(evt) {\r\n  if(evt.button == 0 \u0026\u0026 !evt.shiftKey \u0026\u0026 !evt.ctrlKey \u0026\u0026 !evt.altKey) {\r\n\t\ttoggleSidebar('viewStylishSidebar');}\r\n}\r\nthis.setAttribute(\"onclick\", \"this.textResize(event);\");\r\nthis.setAttribute(\"context\", \"\");\r\n\r\nThe Icon Image is: chrome://stylish/skin/smallicon.png","author":"FLskydiver","created":"2007-10-10T17:58:32.000Z","created_ago":"over 18 years","updated":"2007-10-13T09:59:51.000Z","updated_ago":"over 18 years","category":"site","subcategory":"google","weekly_installs":0,"total_installs":2102,"rating":"none","isPremium":false,"screenshot":"https://userstyles.org/style_screenshot_thumbnails/3758_after.gif?r=1778785253","license":null}
