As I was planning for the workaround: Is it possible that when users switch to road map view / satellite view, the marker is switched to a different location and the view is re-centred?
There is no map type switched event in v3 as far as I know, so I can't write an event handler to handle what is going to happen when the map type is switched. Not that I am lazy or what, but I think I'd like some guide/hint on how to build a workaround with v3. I am not so familiar with v3 after all. Thank you for everyone's help.
