Async Google Maps

Uses the Google Maps API to asynchronously embed a simple map similar to the iframe embed code you can get from Google but without the iframe.

Demo: http://tinyfly.github.com/AsyncMaps/

Usage

This init function takes a configuration object. Minimum usage requires three things:

1. latitude,
2. longitude
3. A div on the page with an ID of map-canvas

$(window).load(function() {
  asyncMaps.maps.init({
    lat: 37.423156,
    lng: -122.084917
  });
});
