Update: it works!
It was the preserveViewport thing.
I had some small errors in my code that messed the up at first.
The problem with loading all mini maps at once is solved too.
On more question though, is there a way to tell
mini_map.setCenter(new GLatLng(lat,lon),zoom_level); to use the
highest available zoom for that area? That would be great.
Thanks for your help guys!
