Right...I have a windows form with a webbrowser on it.
This is made for a application where the user is usinging the map to look up delivery locations (if they are not sure..LOL). No need for anything fancy. however when i load google map into the webbrowser control, which works perfectly, i want to make sure that the side panelof google map is hidden by default. Seen a few places mention the google API, but that might be overkill for this.

I tried InvokeScript etc...any ideas and also I have not been able to find the script i have to invoke..

Using 2010 visual studio ultimate.

Please use the parameter output=embed like in the URL below:
http://maps.google.co.uk/?q=-1.39607123449722%2035.0180155976975%20%28Sir%20Alan%27s%20photograph%29%20&z=13%20&t=h%20&output=embed[^].

For comparison the URL without that parameter: http://maps.google.co.uk/?q=-1.39607123449722%2035.0180155976975%20%28Sir%20Alan%27s%20photograph%29%20&z=13%20&t=h%20[^]

Enjoy!
