disable clickable landmark on google map

Question

I'm using google map API v3. I want to disable click action on default google landmark/poi. For example, when I zoom to UCLA, the school icon shows up (that's fine) but I don't want user to click and view details of that location. Which API function should I use?

Answer 1

Google has exposed an option for this. See clickableIcons of google.maps.MapOptions in the docs.

Example initialization code:

map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
    clickableIcons: false
});
