I can't find any way to remove and clean up a Google map when using the V3 API.

I've got it running in an AJAX site so I want to kill it off pletely without the page having to be reloaded.

I was hoping for a .unload() or .deconstruct() method, but can't seem to find one.

Any thoughts?

• There is no such thing. V2 had GUnload(). Did you think about loading map into the iframe? – Cheery Commented Feb 24, 2012 at 19:30
• Interesting idea, using it via an iframe would make cleaning it up nice and easy. It would mean reworking some of my website's controls though. Will certainly do this if I run out of other options! Thanks – Jamie G Commented Feb 26, 2012 at 10:23

The V3 API should do a much better job managing it's memory. Does simply destroying the div that holds the map not meet your needs?
