how to close/toggle visibility of the street view in a custom google map API v3?

i bui开发者_开发知识库lt a custom map using google api v3, and I allow my users to use the streetview feature, but i would be able to close it and go back to the regular map by clicking a button (not he X within th emap but my own button)...what's the command to do that? i cant find it in the docs

Try putting this under the pageLoad()

$("#streetview_click").appendTo("#map_canvas");

// google streetmap [top bar (north) ]
$("#streetview_click").click(function(){
    var panorama = map.getStreetView();
    if(panorama){panorama.setVisible(false);}
});
