This is by design. If you wish the map to follow the user, you'll need to 
listen to the position_changed event and recenter the map.

google.maps.event.addListener(GeoMarker, 'position_changed', function() {
  map.setCenter(this.getPosition());
});

Of course this task becomes much more difficult because you may want to turn of 
this feature if the user manually pans the map to look at another location.

@chadKill Thanks for the responds. You nailed it. That resolved my issue, cant 
believe I forgot the add listener. 

I have implemented the drawingManager function to allow user to annotate on the 
map, does anyone know how I can use the Polyline feature to draw a polyline 
while tracking the user as to show their path?

Any help is much appreciated...

regards

That seems like a great question to ask on StackOverflow 
(http://stackoverflow.com).
