This one is the interesting part, I think:

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/doc....html#MapTypes

Add/modify this code in the map.php und you'll be fine.

For example (without testing)

replace

 var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));

with

 
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
map.setMapType(G_SATELLITE_MAP);

and a satellite view should be displayed.

The API is huge, take some time to explorere, it's fun I think
