title: How to display only one country or a specific area in Google maps using the api?
body: <p>I am using Google Maps in a project and I want to display only a country map in my map window i.e. I want only the US to show on my map not Canda and Mexico and so on, cutting away the superflous information for the app I am building. </p>
  
  <p>I found some stuff where you can restrict the area covered with some javascript however this still gives me a lot of extra map area as geographic areas usually do not conform to squares.</p>
  
  <p>Further on I am limited by time, $, php and javascript so I can't really do some fancy custom solution that involves lots of work i.e. the usual setting.</p>
