Change Google Maps v3 mapOptions object after load

Question

How can i modify a V3 map's mapOptions (after the initial map has been loaded)?

Specifically, I would like to be able to flip the

draggable: false 

option to

draggable: true 

When an action (such as a click on a div) is triggered.

Addition: I have tried loading jquery-ui-map and using:

$('#map').gmap('option', 'draggable', true); 

However this seems to reload the map and forget all the other existing options. I could redefine them all, but that seems a bit hackish.

Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks!

Found that I don't even need jQuery for this – it's already part of the Google Maps API. Simply do:

map.set('draggable', true); 

Too easy! Hope it helps someone.

====== 2020 update - you should use:

map.setOptions({ draggable: true });
