Set map type of GoogleMap

To set the type of map tiles, call setMapType(int type) method of the GoogleMap acquired in last exercise "Get GoogleMap from MapFragment/SupportMapFragment".

Where type can be:

• MAP_TYPE_NONE
  No base map tiles.
• MAP_TYPE_NORMAL
  Basic maps.
• MAP_TYPE_SATELLITE
  Satellite maps with no labels.
• MAP_TYPE_HYBRID
  Satellite maps with a transparent layer of major streets.
• MAP_TYPE_TERRAIN
  Terrain maps.

Example:

   FragmentManager myFragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
   SupportMapFragment mySupportMapFragment 
    = (SupportMapFragment)myFragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
   myMap = mySupportMapFragment.getMap();
   
   myMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);

   //myMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);
   //myMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL);
   //myMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_SATELLITE);
   myMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_TERRAIN);
