 * Hello,
 * is posible to show the new google maps instead of the last one?
 * I see that if you add a single line code before the map is rendered you can get
   it.
 * Just to add:
 * google.maps.visualRefresh = true;
 * But I dont know what file I have to touch in order to get this.

 * Thank You!

 * Hello MZBS
 * An solution has been found, and an update will be out soon with the option to
   have the new design. You can get this new design from either the shortcode
 * `[googlemaps new_design=true]`
 * or programmatically by passing into
 * `pronamic_google_maps( array( 'new_design' => true ) );`
 * Keep an eye out for the update!
 * If you want to know how we did it, you can see the commit here: [https://github.com/pronamic/wp-pronamic-google-maps/commit/549ac2c4652ba0e01c9cb73e6e6fafce994ff9d3](https://github.com/pronamic/wp-pronamic-google-maps/commit/549ac2c4652ba0e01c9cb73e6e6fafce994ff9d3)

 * I just tried it with a mashup and it did not work, is it limited to non mashups
   at the moment? Running a build from github
 *     ```
       if ( function_exists( 'pronamic_google_maps_mashup' ) ) {
       	pronamic_google_maps_mashup(
       		array(
       			'post_type'      => 'memorial',
       			'new_design' => true,
       			'nopaging'       => true
       		), array(
       			'width'          => '100%',
       			'height'         => '100%',
       			'map_type_id'    => 'roadmap',
       			'marker_options' => array(
       				'icon' => 'http://google-maps-icons.googlecode.com/files/photo.png'
       			),
       			'map_options' => array(
       				// https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/styling
       				// http://gmaps-samples-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/styledmaps/wizard/index.html
       				'styles' => array(
       					(object) array(
       						'stylers'     => array(
       							(object) array( 'visibility' => 'simplified' ),
       							(object) array( 'hue'        => '#C76054' )
       						)
       					)
       				)
       			)
       		)
       	);
       ```

 * Hello pinktank,
 * We realized that the setting for using freshDesign for Google Maps was a alteration
   to the global google.map object. This meant it made more sense that choosing 
   to use the freshDesign was a global setting.
 * I just looked through the code and realized we had incorrectly called the option
   for the fresh design. The github repository has been updated now.
 * You should see the new settings page, which includes at the bottom, the choice
   to use the Fresh Design.
 * Tick that and all will be good.

 * The new “Use Google Maps Visual Refresh” option in the current development version
   at the github repository works fine for me.

 * I can confirm that it does work for me as well
