I prefer unified diff patches.

OK, next time it will be a unified diff.

and the svn checkout resulted in an error,

If the error was that an svn:external reference could not be followed: ignore it. It's a private repository of test files that is only needed for integration tests.

I think that was the error. As I didn't know (or wanted to check) what was missing I just skipped it.

Good work. Basically it was just one line

The second version was. The first incorrect version wasn't. My javascript skills are 10 years old.

That was:

map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl3D());
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(52.47, 5.1), 3);

I'm unsure about these changes. I intentionally choose the coordinates such that America and Europe are visible. And the 3D slider looks nice but if different from the look of the map type chooser.

That's fine with me. That's also why I left the original values in as remarks. Please revert to the previous settings if you like. However, I would stick to the zoom factor 3 or maybe 2.5 (didn't check that value though). Maybe it's even nicer to make that a preference: a user can than select his/her own location with zoom level, like google maps does as well. I think a general super zoomed out map isn't useful, but you have to start somewhere off course.
