TOPIC: Maptypes

When maptypes are set to all types, the map is okay and we can choose labels from Satellite drop down menu, but when we select in backend only Satellite, labels are gone.

Is there any option that I can change to show only satellite view + labels?

Config - Basic Settings - Map Types - Only Hybrid Map.
You will kick yourself.

Iki, is what Bruce said doing what you want? Or do you want something else?

Is there a way to choose the 'start' map type? Let's say I want 'all map types', but I want Hotspots to open in Hybrid view rather than map view.

Yep, thats it didnt know its called "hybrid"

Appreciate Burce

Also, when my map is hybrid by default and when I click to any location (detail page) it goes back to normal map.

Iki, could you please try the following for me.
Go to media/com_hotspots/js/Hotspots.Hotspot.js

line 35
this.map.setCenter(position);

after it add this line
this.setMapType();

is the map showing in hybrid mode now?

Its not working Dan, I just tried. On opening its hybrid and its fine, but when I click on any location Read More, it goes back to normal + hybrid to choose.

Ok, I just tested this myself and that is not true! When I click on readmore the map is in hybrid mode and you have the option to choose if you want the standard map... (that is the only difference with the map view - in single view you have the option to choose - map/satelite) but the default map is hybrid. My modification from above is working:
this.setMapType();

Make sure to delete cache etc..
Daniel

You're right Its working, it was cache problem. 1st time I just tried with refreshing

Great, thank you a lot!!

Sorry to repeat...
