Squiz Matrix's Google Maps package allows you to embed Google Maps within your site that your users can view and navigate with. These maps can contain a variety of map type options, plotted locations and other functionality. 

Google is currently in the process of depreciating version 2 of its Google Maps JavaScript API after the new release of version 3 of the API. As a result, the Google Maps package within Matrix has been upgraded to this release.

Changes resulting from this upgrade include:

• A number of configuration options on the Details screen of the Google Map asset are now automated by Google Maps and are no longer available.
• The Street View overlay functionality (including the related keyword replacements) are no longer available. The Google Maps API now uses the familiar peg man feature to initiate Street View.
• Google Earth is no longer supported. This includes the Moon Elevation, Moon Visible, Mars Infrared and Sky Visible map types. These options will no longer be available for selection.
• Mouse zoom scrolling is no longer customisable, it is enabled by default.
• The map initialisation code has been modified.

The resulting functionality is a more accessible and intuitive mapping experience.

Most users should be able to continue using their existing implementations without complication. Users using functionality that has been removed, however, should review their implementations and make any necessary modifications before upgrading your system.
