            Description

            Google Maps recently changed their default control style. The slider zoom control is not available and other controls work and look differently. Some users might prefer to keep the old control styles in their applications. This is possible to do by specifying a global setting in the Google Maps API. Because of this, this configuration would have to be done via a context parameter (org.icefaces.ace.gmapControlStyle), and we would document in the wiki the possible values that this parameter can take.

              Closing as Won't Fix. As documented on this page https://developers.google.com/maps/articles/v322-controls-diff#opting-out-of-the-new-controls-in-v322-and-v323 the 'google.maps.controlStyle' flag is only available for versions 3.22 and 3.23 of Google Maps and is supposed to only be available until August of 2016. In reality, this flag is no longer available already. I specified it, as documented, but the new control style keeps showing. This can also be seen on that same page in the examples that are supposed to show the old control styles; they show instead the new styles.

              There's still a way to use the old control styles, and that is using the 3.21 version, which can be done with the following context parameter:

                  <context-param>
        <param-name>org.icefaces.ace.gmapVersion</param-name>
        <param-value>3.21</param-value>
    </context-param>
              Show
