Background
-----------------
There is already [one](https://github.com/nlaplante/angular-google-maps) for this. However, I found myself doing totally different approach than the existing one, such as;

1. **Everything in tag and attributes.**   
   Thus, basic users don't even have to know what Javascript is. 

2. **Expose all original Google Maps V3 api to the user.**   
   No hiding, no wraping, or whatsoever. 
   By doing so, programmers don't need to learn how to use this module.
   You only need to know Google Maps V3 API.

There is a blog that introduces this module. The title of it is '[Google Map As The Simplest Way](http://allenhwkim.tumblr.com/post/70986888283/google-map-as-the-simplest-way)'

To Get Started
--------------
For Bower users, 

  `$ bower install ngmap`

1. Include `ng-map.min.js`:
   `<script src="/bower_components/ngmap/build/scripts/ng-map.min.js"></script>`

2. Include Google maps:  
    `<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js"></script>`  

2. Name your angular app ngMap, or add it as a dependency

   `var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ngMap']);`

To get the map instance use the `NgMap.getMap()` function

    app.controller('MyController', function(NgMap) {
      NgMap.getMap().then(function(map) {
        console.log(map.getCenter());
        console.log('markers', map.markers);
        console.log('shapes', map.shapes);
      });
    });

For npm users, 

  `$ npm install ngmap`

Lazy Loading of Google Maps Javascript
---------------------------------------
  Simply wrap the map tag with `map-lazy-load="https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js"`.

    <div map-lazy-load="https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js">
      <ng-map center="41,-87" zoom="3"></ng-map>
    </div>

  If you need to pass in an API key to the javascript, you can set a scope
  variable in your controller (e.g. `$scope.googleMapsUrl="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_KEY_HERE";`).
  This can be set from a constant value in your app to standardise the API key to pass to google for multiple controllers.

    <div map-lazy-load="https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js"
      map-lazy-load-params="{{googleMapsUrl}}">
      <ng-map center="41,-87" zoom="3"></ng-map>
    </div>
    
FAQ
----
## Grey area in Google maps

The usual reason why this is happening is that the size of the map is changed after the map has been initialized. If you for some reason change the size of the div, you need to trigger the "resize" event and possible reCenter the map.

     var center = map.getCenter();
     google.maps.event.trigger(map, "resize");
     map.setCenter(center);
