Thank you to those who so generously share their time in this forum to
help others, including myself, up the learning curve.  I have an eye
out for questions that I may be able to answer to help pay the favor
forward.

Now about browser detecting....
In v2 we had GBrowserIsCompatible().  In v3 we are on our own.
Alas, what’s a poor v3 developer to do?

Here’s the list of browsers officially support by v3:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#browsersupport
In addition, there appears to be some unofficial support for Opera.

Here’s a link to the browser detect routine I wrote.  It’s in php but
could easily be ported to javascript.  Please feel welcome to use it
if it can help you.

My app displays a warning message if the user’s browser is not on the
officially supported list and then the app tries to launch and produce
the requested map.

And if you are curious, my app is called Gmap4 which I audaciously
refer to as an enhanced Google map viewer. For example:
