Hi, All, I have implemented a custom MapType to serve my own tiles instead 
of the default tiles at particular locations, it works well. I am allowing 
users to change between map types as well, so that they can use SATELLITE or 
ROADMAP, etc. Here is my issue - when I set the map options to display the 
streetView pegman (streetViewControl: true), the pegman is displayed on 
SATELLITE and ROADMAP when I change the map type, but is never displayed on 
mine. Is it possible to use the default implementation of StreetView with a 
custom mapType? My code to set up the map is below, I can post an example if 
needed but I think the issue is fairly clear. 

Thanks!


    /* This is the custom type that allows us to add our own images. */
    function CustomImageMapType() {}
    CustomImageMapType.prototype.tileSize = new google.maps.Size(256, 256);
    CustomImageMapType.prototype.maxZoom = 19;
    CustomImageMapType.prototype.isPng = false;
    CustomImageMapType.prototype.getTile = function(coord, zoom, 
ownerDocument) {

        // If we should be serving the image, not google.
        if (withinBoundaries(zoom, coord.x, coord.y)) {
        // not important for example..... tile gets served here
        }
        // If we don't have an image to serve, default to the regular map.
        return 
map.mapTypes.get(google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP).getTile(coord, zoom, 
ownerDocument);
    };


    CustomImageMapType.prototype.name = "Penn";

    var pennCustomImageMapType = new CustomImageMapType();

    // Create the map options.
    var myOptions = {
        zoom: 16,
        mapTypeId: 'Penn',
        maxZoom: 18,
        streetViewControl: true,
        streetViewControlOptions: {
            position: google.maps.ControlPosition.BOTTOM_RIGHT
        },
        mapTypeControl: true,
        mapTypeControlOptions: {
              style: google.maps.MapTypeControlStyle.HORIZONTAL_BAR,
              mapTypeIds: ['Penn',
                          google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
                          google.maps.MapTypeId.TERRAIN,
                          google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE,
                          google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID ]
          },
    };

    // Create the map.
    map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"));


    // Now attach the custom image map type to the map's registry
    map.mapTypes.set('Penn', pennCustomImageMapType);

    // We can now set the map to use the 'custom image' map type
    map.setMapTypeId('Penn');

    // Add the options to the map.
    map.setOptions(myOptions);
