Google maps full screen button

The script adds a button to the navigation tools that slides in the side panel and makes the bars at the top of the page disappear. At the moment the script has two options, you can set the script to  display the map in full screen as soon as you load the page (this is the default) and you can set how much the elements remaining on the page are faded out (the default is 50%), when you mouse over an element it becomes fully opaque. An extension version will be available when i have the time to make one. For the full effect use F11 to make Opera itself full screen.

The script is also available as an Opera extension, to install, simply download the .oex file below and approve installation.

Screenshots

As of version 0.9 the extension version can also take screenshots of the visible part of the map, this requires Opera 12.10 or above. To take a screenshot simply click and hold on the full screen button. Screenshots can be taken in jpeg and png format. Streetview screenshots may or may not work depending on your OS, unfortunately i have no control over this. Screenshots can be taken in jpeg or png format.

NB: The script version will not work on the https page unless you have set opera:config#UserPrefs|UserJavaScriptonHTTPS to true
