Thank you! I have successfully added Panoramio and Wikipedia layers to
my forum member map at:
http://millennium-thisiswhoweare.net/tiwwa/tiwwa_member_map.php

However, as the layers are enabled by default, the map looks too
crowded as its zoomed out all the way when first viewed.

Looking at the public Google Maps page, there is a More button that
allows visitors to select these layers which is much more friendly.

To get the layers working, I had to change my map API from v2 to v2.x
but the MORE button doesn't show.

How do we enable this? I have the Map, Satellite and Terrain options
displaying, just need the More button...

Thanks again,
Graham

Here's a section of my code so far:

function load() {

        var myPano = new
GStreetviewPanorama(document.getElementById("pano"));
        var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
        map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl());
        map.addControl(new GHierarchicalMapTypeControl());
        map.addControl(new GOverviewMapControl());
        map.addControl(new GScaleControl());
                map.enableGoogleBar();
                map.enableScrollWheelZoom();
        map.setCenter(new GLatLng(41.902277,-48.867187), 2,
G_NORMAL_MAP);
                map.addMapType(G_PHYSICAL_MAP);

                // Add Panoramio and Wikipedia options.

                map.addOverlay(new GLayer("com.panoramio.all"));
        map.addOverlay(new GLayer("org.wikipedia.en"));

                // Add streetmap overlay and show the street when available.

                svOverlay = new GStreetviewOverlay();
                map.addOverlay(svOverlay);
                GEvent.addListener(map,"click", function(overlay,latlng) {
                  myPano.setLocationAndPOV(latlng);
                });

                // Show a pop with coordinates when someone clicks on the map.

                GEvent.addListener(map, 'click', function(overlay, point) {
        var latLngStr = "<div><h5>You clicked on the map! <br />Copy/
paste the following numbers into your profile settings <br />to put a
marker at this exact spot!<br /><br />Lat = " + point.y + "<br />Long
= " + point.x + "<br />Only enter the numbers, don't include any
letters!</h5></div>";
                map.openInfoWindow(point, latLngStr);

        });

        // Download the data in data.xml and load it onto the map.

        GDownloadUrl("http://millennium-thisiswhoweare.net/tiwwa/
membermap_xml/data.xml",function(data) {
          var xml = GXml.parse(data);
          var markers = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
          for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
                var point = new GLatLng(parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")),
                                                parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")));

                var displayname = markers[i].getAttribute("displayname");
        var title = markers[i].getAttribute("title");
        var posts = markers[i].getAttribute("posts");
                var msg = markers[i].getAttribute("msgtotal");
                var views = markers[i].getAttribute("profileviews");
                var topics = markers[i].getAttribute("topics");
                var type = markers[i].getAttribute("type");
                var userid = markers[i].getAttribute("userid");
        var html = "<div><h5>" + displayname + "<br />" + title + "</
h5><div id=\"profile_link\"><a href=\"/tiwwa/index.php?showuser=" +
userid + "\" title=\"View " + displayname + "'s full social profile

" + posts + "<br />Total Topics: " + topics + "<br />Total Stored
PM's: " + msg + "<br />Profile Views: " + views + "<br /><br />Map Lat/

                var html= html;

          // create the marker
                var marker = createMarker(point,displayname,type,html);
                map.addOverlay(marker);          }
          // put the assembled sidebar_html contents into the sidebar div
          document.getElementById("sidebar").innerHTML = sidebar_html;
