Google maps satellite view

Question

Hey ALL!

I'm using the google maps API with openstreetmap (see the following example code),

I'd like to add the google satellite view too.

How can this be accomplished?

var tilesMapnik     = new GTileLayer(copyOSM, 1, 17, {tileUrlTemplate: 'http://tile.openstreetmap.org/{Z}/{X}/{Y}.png'});
var mapMapnik = new GMapType([tilesMapnik],G_NORMAL_MAP.getProjection(), "îôä");


map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), { mapTypes: [mapMapnik] });
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(32.08, 34.82), 12);

map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());

Answer 2

If you just want to add the satellite option to your Google Map, try this:

map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), { mapTypes: [mapMapnik, G_SATELLITE_MAP] });

Alternatively, you can also use this:

map.addMapType(G_SATELLITE_MAP);
