Question: Here is the snippet I am using to display Google map on my app using their V3 Javascript API.

```
var myOptions = {
            zoom: 15,
            mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP

        }
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);

```

But the map shows terrain, hybrid and satellite which I don't want. How do I remove those controls from the map.

Answer: 
You can [remove all the default UI](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/controls#DisablingDefaults) 

```
var mapOptions = {
            zoom: 15,
            mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
            disableDefaultUI: true
        };

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);

```

And then you can [add your own controls](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/controls#Adding_Controls_to_the_Map)

Or you can just add `mapTypeControl: false`
So there's no URL attribute for disabling the satellite/terrain maps from Google's own embed code?
