Add Controls to the Map

Page Summary

This example demonstrates how to disable the zoom control on a Google Map.
It utilizes the zoomControl: false option within the map initialization.
The scale control remains enabled for alternative scaling functionality.
Provided code snippets include TypeScript, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML for implementation.
Users can explore the sample via JSFiddle, Google Cloud Shell, or by cloning and running the code locally.

This example creates a map with the camera control disabled.
