How to offset the center of a Google maps (API v3) in pixels?
google.maps.Map.prototype.setCenterWithOffset= function(latlng, offsetX, offsetY) {
var map = this;
var ov = new google.maps.OverlayView();
ov.onAdd = function() {
var proj = this.getProjection();
var aPoint = proj.fromLatLngToContainerPixel(latlng);
aPoint.x = aPoint.x+offsetX;
aPoint.y = aPoint.y+offsetY;
map.setCenter(proj.fromContainerPixelToLatLng(aPoint));
};
ov.draw = function() {};
ov.setMap(this);
};
// Using
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644);
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), {
zoom: 8,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
center: latlng
});
map.setCenterWithOffset(latlng, 0, 250);

map.panBy(0,-30) when zoom will offset the new center... I also want to know if this one could fix that~

This code makes Firefox and Chrome on my Computer take 90-100% of cpu-power (until they stop responding)... =/
Any idea why?
