I'm trying to use the geo_autocomplete extension (http://
code.google.com/p/geo-autocomplete/) but I allways get the message
"Geocoder is not a constructor", I guess I'm calling geocoder too
soon, so the enviroment is not ready, but I'm using
"google.setOnLoadCallback();" to be sure everything is ok:

function initialize()
{
var map = new google.maps.Map2(document.getElementById("map"));
map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), 13);
$('#location').geo_autocomplete(new google.maps.Geocoder,
{
mapkey: 'ABQ',
selectFirst: false,
minChars: 3,
cacheLength: 50,
width: 300,
scroll: true,
scrollHeight: 330
}).result(function(_event, _data)
{
if (_data) map.fitBounds(_data.geometry.viewport);
})
}

$().ready(function()
{
google.setOnLoadCallback(initialize);
}

That's not v3 syntax

This is already fixed and working. Thanks to everyone.
I have a new question now.
Which steps should I follow to create an overlay based on a div with a predefined css class and some other divs inside with it's own ID.
I find the lack of jquery compatibility a real pain...

This is one of the libraries that create an OverlayView <div>

You can create the inner div's in html.
