Phil,
The thing is that there are many other DIVs, created dynamically by
the API, which you don't see, and they get affected by your global DIV
style as well.
Either you need to remove that global style, or try restoring all the
internal map DIVs after creating the map, with something like this:
map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), 13);
// Get all the child DIVs of the map container and restore their style
var container = map.getContainer()
var children = container.getElementsByTagName('DIV');
for (var n = 0 ; n < children.length ; n++ ) {
children[n].style.overflow = 'visible';
}
That gets the map to display initially, even if you keep the global
DIV style, but there's no guarantee that it will not raise other
issues.
