Re: Using getCurrentMapType()

I'm not too sure about this area of version 1 (it's one of the few areas
where the version 2 code is more readable).

In version 2, map.getCurrentMapType() returns a GMapType() object, and
you can use the .getName() method to find its name.
map.getCurrentMapType().getName();

I think that in version 1 it would be something like
map.getCurrentMapType().getLinkText();

Note that these return the names as *language*specific* text. E.g. if
your map is being viewed in France, the values will be "Carte",
"Satellite" and "Mixte".
