This might work:
Untested!!
Remove the function you added before, setShiftedCenter() and use this
one instead:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
var shift = new GSize(0,100)
GMap2.prototype.panShifted = function (latlon,sh) {
var z = map.getZoom();
var proj = this.getCurrentMapType().getProjection();
var px = proj.fromLatLngToPixel(latlon,z);
var sePx = new GPoint(px.x + sh.width, px.y + sh.height);
var seLatLng = proj.fromPixelToLatLng(sePx,z);
this.panTo(seLatLng,z);
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------
But don't put it where the previous function was.
Add it immediately after the line
map.addMapType(G_SATELLITE_3D_MAP);
Then, to use this function, replace
map.panTo( infowindow.getPoint() );
with
map.panShifted( infowindow.getPoint(),shift );
Good luck!
