You're probably looking for JS example, but here's how I added a listener with CoffeeScript:

In my view:

<% content_for :scripts do %>
  <%= coffee_script_tag do %>
    GmapsHelper.setCallbackHandlers()
  <% end %>
<% end %>

In gmaps_helper.js.coffee:

class @GmapsHelper

  @setCallbackHandlers: ->
    Gmaps.map.callback = ->
      google.maps.event.addListener Gmaps.map.serviceObject, "click", doSomething

  doSomething = ->
    # do whatever with the Gmaps.map object.

Hope that helps.

@nithinbekal Your example is really nice, thanks for sharing.

I guess this would ideally deserve some wiki entry to inspire more people
