as googlemaps is included in the examples I've been looking at it and I think to get the friendliest of experience it would be a benefit to be able to resize the box that contains the googlemap( drag it to fill more of the screen with the mouse) to be able then to look about in the map, decide where you are interested in [click] map politely goes smaller in a corner and waits and the screen shows the panorama or that place etc.
[edit] ahh I remember reading that is not recommended as it will slow things down as map is reloaded. Can it be dropped until the size of the box is decided and then reload the map ??
cheers
