Google Map Parallax Effect

google-maps, javascript, jquery, wordpress

Solution

The effect only for a map is not hard to achieve. Observe the `scroll`-event of the window and use the `panBy`-method of the map to get the effect.

Problem

I want to know how I would go about creating a parallax Google Maps effect like on this wordpress theme (scroll toward the bottom) http://themeforest.net/item/3clicks-responsive-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/5092225 I tried using some various parallax jquery scripts and javascripts, but can't seem to get the same effect.
