Here is what I want: 1)it would be amazing if you could control things like the number of advertisement balloons per screen 2)the color and size of the balloons, 3)tell gmap-adsense the keywords that would be relevant to your map, in addition to letting google spider the words on your page.

So far I haven't seen a downloadable tile set or code that generates a specific tile set. You also think all of those features are likely INSIDE the Google maps API? I think they'd all make wonderful mashups, but they seem too specialized to be part of the API itself. Cam Mapperz,
