#18858 — I have debugged this javascript but I can't understand why the row marked with * give error

I'm new to Google map API
This line cause error
TextualZoomControl.prototype = new google.map.GControl();
I have included the java script according to google recommendations
The error I get is runtime error in Javascript: It's not possible to get 
property GControl for a reference that is undefined or null.
But according to the google API there is an object named GControl.
I have tried with these four alternatives
   TextualZoomControl.prototype = new google.map.GControl();
   TextualZoomControl.prototype = new google.map.Control();
   TextualZoomControl.prototype = new GControl();
   TextualZoomControl.prototype = new Control();

I can't understand why it doesn't work.
Can somebody correct me about why it doesn't work ?

It's google.maps, not google.map.

This is an error you should have been able to find yourself: the error
message already told you that you're trying to access a "GControl"
property of something that is undefined or null.
