Does anyone play with Google Maps? SmokeyTheBear?

Can you control the functionality of the map itself... for example, can you control how far it will allow someone to zoom, disable the satellite/hybrid view... and show markers for addresses but not show the user that specific address?

Sounds like a weird question, I have had a really great idea for a prank with google maps... lets say for example (just a random example) that you want to allow someone to search for a product or service or pimp or drug dealer or whatever, that don't exist and show that they are close to them and you want to show 10 of these things within a 5 block radius of their home.. but without showing the exact address.

I just want to show the markers and not allow them to zoom in enough to see the actual streets at the max zoom.

for example... just show 10 results like this... clustered in a certain area of a town, but no specific info or additional details
