Hiding selective labels in the map

Question

Hi,

Could anyone tell me if there was a way to hide labels slectively on the map. To be precise I see a few business marked on the map, they appear with a symbol and the font is in blue, i would like to know if there was a way to hide just these while keeping the names of the roads and the locality intact.
Any help is highly apreciated

Thx.

Unfortunately there is no simple way to do this as the names are written directly on the tiles. It may be possible to create a web service that reads in the tiles and replaces the text color with an alternate color, however this wouldn't be perfect and would require a lot of work.

Well thanks for your reply Richard. I was kind of hoping that the restaurant names etc that are visible at high zoom-in levels would be part of a separate layer, which could be turned off. Dint find anything of this sort in the api. Anyone with any idea if this can be done?
