Any way to change default map view in Google Map field definitions

Hi, we have a site where the client needs to see a satellite view in their admin screen. There’s no view setting in the field definitions – is there another way?

Or would it be possible to add this ability?

Hi @theheat

Thanks for the post.

Currently this feature is not available in the plugin but I suppose you could hook into the Google map API and edit the Map Options object to turn on the Maptype control. This will be done through the following code:
mapTypeControl:true
