Chris, Got it.

Can't you force a mouse event? As I said, I've never dealt with Google
Maps API, but I guess it uses a bunch of mouse event trappers/handlers.
Is it possible to call the same functions emulating mouse clicks?

Once I had to code a Java applet that had power lines and we had to
move the map with the drag event. I got the initial and final mouse
position (both X and Y axis) and then moved the image accordingly -
note, in the opposite direction! - mouse moves up, image moves down.

Can't you rebuild the same line of thought, in the opposite direction?
I mean, I suppose you have the direction and the length you wanna
'walk' in the map. Can't you do like fake clicks in Google Maps'
arrows in the upper left corner? Or pinpoint locations in coordinates
(degrees, minutes and seconds) and then do a MoveTo in the map?

I'm afraid I can't help much more without understanding Google's API.
Sorry about that.

Regards!!
