DragZoom taken into Google Maps Util Lib
Published by Andre June 21st, 2007 in JavaScriptDragZoom (previously called GZoom) is my drag-to-zoom custom Google Map control I open-sourced last year. I’m happy to say the code has been incorporated into Google’s own GMaps Utility Library. Thanks to Pamela Fox from Google for doing a lot of work to bring it in. You can now source DragZoom directly off of Google’s servers, so there’s no need to download your own copy.
Pamela also put together a great example page demonstrating the different instantiation options. Other links for the project:

For those interested, the utility library also includes LabeledMarker, as well.
Hi,
Do I have to use the component as a control? I want to add a toolbar outside map and activate the dragzoom component via this toolbar, not a control on map. Is this possible or how can I implement this feature?
Thanks.
