 * There isn’t a way to do it yet, but it’s on my list. I moved it up higher since
   other people have asked for that feature too.
 * I’m not sure when I’ll have time to implement it, but in the mean time you could
   manually edit the functions.js file to do it. In version 1.5.1 it’s line 53. 
   See [http://www.svennerberg.com/examples/google_maps_3/properties.php](http://www.svennerberg.com/examples/google_maps_3/properties.php)
   for all the different options.

 * Version 1.6 has options to do this now.
