2grog: i'd think of it, but will be away till the end of April unfortunately...
EDIT:
I've made new version (let it be 0.1.1) with bigger buttons, now it's more comfortable to navigate the map with fingers. And potential bugs with search field are also hopefully solved - now its position is fixed, not absolute. Download bigger buttons version from here, and if you prefer old button sizes, i updated the old code on this post.

First thank you for providing this to us.
with v0.1 I did not see the search field. with v0.1.1 the search field is almost off the top of my screen. if I click on the field and start entering text the webpage scrolls down so that the entie field is visible, however, i don't see the search button but hitting enter starts the search.

correction/update: I went back to maps.google.com and the search field is now completely visible but still no button

Any chance you can figure out how to get the second text field not to overlap when doing directions? ( ie search for a store and then click get directions ).

Thank you for feedback

Yes, there's no search button, i removed it intentionally for sake of minimalism (anyway, when you do a search, you need to open physical or virtual keyboard, so hitting enter is not such a big problem)
But if you want that button, add

Code:

#showss, #q_sub {display:block !important;position:fixed; left:270px; top:7px;}
input[type="text"] {width:160px !important}

just before the final } sign in the css file. This applies to smaller buttons version. I'll soon make an update with "Show search options" link and possibly directions. BTW, if you need directions right now, you may type: "from: detroit to: chicago" in search box, that will do the job. And for business, type "pizza loc: Del Rio" that is find all pizzas at Del Rio. Remember to specify which Del Rio you mean: for example, "pizza loc: Del Rio, Tennessee" will get different result than "pizza loc: Del Rio, Texas" and so on.

Yes, in the evening or so. There are also plans to get rid of some zoom buttons and replace with big transparent buttons like in Wayfinder app. Tell me if you'd like them. Only that some parts of Google code aren't easy to customise...

Thanks... I know. Also some code increases load times very much. That is why I want to go with the minimum large map and leave the search to the tablets "Internet Search Bar"

Hi Grog,
If you are looking to get a full screen display of your google calendar, have you tried using the url for the private address to your calendar?

I love the tweak for Google Maps, but I have a conflict and I'm wondering how to get around it.

My Full-Screen Google Maps shows up full-screen but without any map showing unless I remove from my userContent.css file other code (primarily tweaks from brontide for squeezing almost any webpage into the NIT screen-width, enlarging fonts, etc.). Google Maps (with or without being full-page) is the only webpage so far where those other tweaks have caused serious problems.

Is there a way to tell those other tweaks that I have in the userContent.css file to be inactive with respect to http://maps.google.com/* (and the other Google Maps websites)? Or any ideas about how to toggle the "brontide tweaks" on and off (short of having to go into the userContent.css file each time)?

Thanks!

(BTW, I tried turning sashabe's tweak into a Greasemonkey script, so we could toggle it on and off, but I don't know what I'm doing and it didn't work. I had just plagiarized the extra code that this guy used to make the .css change into a Greasemonkey script, and added it to sashabe's.)
