Keyboard Arrow Keys
- Google Map Groups — enable Keyboard Arrow Keys.
map.registerKeyHandlers is there, but it is called from the constructor of GMapsApplication which most of us are not using. So, to get the keyboard shortcuts to work, you need to call it yourself after you create your GMap. Like this:
var mymap = new GMap(document.getElementById('map')); mymap.registerKeyHandlers( window );
