Google Maps API - Default cursor type

Question

I am dynamically changing the cursor type on a Google Map using the Javascript V3 API.

map.setOptions({draggableCursor:'crosshair'});

This is easy but I cannot figure out how to change back to the default draggable hand cursor.

Any suggestion of how I can reference the default cursor type. I have tried default, auto and hand to no avail. Below is how the hand looks before I change it.

Answer 1

This seems to work for me

map.setOptions({draggableCursor:''});

Answer 2

It's an Image: http://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/openhand_8_8.cur

cursor: url("https://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/openhand_8_8.cur"), default;

I don't know if it is documented somewhere, but setting the draggableCursor-option to null will restore the default for me, it could be an better option.

Answer 3

I've had some problems to change the default cursor type at Google Maps v3. Whenever you want the cursor set to the hand, use draggableCursor: 'pointer' at the mapOptions definition, but if you want to get rid of the little hand, and you just want to see the standard web pointer, the value for draggableCursor must be 'default', like the code below.

var mapOptions = {
    zoom: 8,
    center: position,
    mapTypeId: mapTypeId,
    draggableCursor: 'default'
  };
