Is it possible to add and toggle Google Maps over Google Earth Plug-in?
Have a look at this page, is that what you want?

Check out this utility library that allows you to combine Google Earth and Maps: http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/googleearth/

I am developing a web page which uses the Google Earth plugin. I would like to display the map like in the first image with the "Earth" and "Satellite/Map" view options like you can in Google Maps, or at least be able to just show the map in "Satellite/Map" view:
Currently this is what the view looks like:
Is this possible?
Yes, you can use the Google Maps V3 to switch between Google Maps and the Google Earth Plug-in.
The google-maps-utility-library-v3 can be used to make this easier.
You can see a working example here.
Alternatively you can simulate a reasonable map view buy just turning of the terrain and photo imagery and turning on the borders and roads layers in the Earth Plug-in. If you then lock this view to 'plan' it works well.
Airbnb has a feature on their main search page that only the results in the map are shown. Is it something that is supported by the google maps api ?
I am using the gem gmaps4rails. I havn't found this in neither in the google maps api not in the gem.
Basically what I want is the bounds of the map so that I know what constraints to search with, so that the results fit in the map.
How do you think it can be done ?
The Map-class has a method called getBounds().
Using a KML file I can show Google Earth in website. Now, can anyone give me idea to implement following specification?
I need following buttons above the Google Earth plugin
a. User must be able to switch between map and earth.
b. User should be able to save and download the map or earth as image
So we have to use same KML file (that is used for google earth) to show google map. After that google earth or the google maps have to be saved as image.
As per i know,same kml will not work for google maps and google earth.Becuase, Google Earth kml is some what different to Google Maps kml.In Google Earth kml we need to declare <LookAt> that is not supported by Google Maps.Please have a look into the following url for Google Earth kml:
http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/kml_tut.html
and the following url explains google maps kml:
http://econym.org.uk/gmap/kml.htm
Here we have to observe one more thing like we have <coordinates> in both cases.But ,the Projection is different in both cases.If we use same lat and lon for Google Earth and Google Maps we cannot able to get the correct result.So,you can use both kml but while passing coordinates from Google maps to Google earth,need to change the lat,lon projections and vice versa.
Hope this helps you :-)
How can I configure Google Maps to show in Earth View? I am using Google Maps V3
Iff by "Earth View" you're referring to the Satellite view, you want to set your MapType as shown on here.
map.setMapTypeId(google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE);
Use this,
map.setMapTypeId('GoogleEarthAPI');
use this after setting up all things, like markers etc.
Good luck.
I'm curious to know if there is an easy way to creat a similar graph to embed google analytics into our cms for clients pages, so that they can see the same type of chart that google has on there analytics dashboard.
What exactly do you want? If you want to use data collected by Google Analytics, you can use its' Google Analytics Data Export API.
Yes - check out embeddedanalytics.com. You define the chart (metrics, dimensions, type) and simply embed a snippet of code into your site.
Disclosure: I work with embeddedanalytics.
