The new controls of maps.google.com are now possible too in the plugin with parameter zoomtype (version 2.12g):
3D-large
3D-small
{mosmap zoomtype='3D-small'}
Also the map can have the same default behavior of maps.google.com by using parameter controltype:
UI - the controls for maptype, zoom/pan and support for keyboard, mouse etc. are done by default. If the map is too small the small controls will be used.
user - you have to set your own controls and behavoirof the map in configuration or by parameters.
