Important enhancements to "GoogleMapsLayer"

Hello group,
Some of you may have been using the "GoogleMapsLayer" available in the code gallery to bring Google Maps in JSAPI app as a base map option: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=a84d64b0d1404366a02da714ca59d61f. I'd like to share a few major enhancement available:

Support Google "map style", with custom hue/lightness/saturation, and turn on/off features drawn, which offers unlimited flavor of base maps. i.e. "dynamic-thematic-tiled" base map.

Provides 2 predefined styles: "Gray" and "Night" to use with operational layers on different scenarios, and any custom configuration.

Street view with display of streets where images available, drag-drop pegman icon to switch between street view mode and map mode.

Cross domain built for use online version, no download necessary to get started.

Works with BasemapControl widget (http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=7032c5fce478455b848183e42fd5b256) to easily provide many base map options to your application.

Feedback welcome.

N.L.

I would just like to say thanks for this. I have it 90% integrated in my app and it works amazingly.

A thought, like your TOC code, would it be possible to hide radio buttons at a scale if they are not available?

thanks again.
