Using jsapi with google maps JavaScript API

[Alex]

I just spend some time figuring out how to use Google Maps API with https://www.google.com/jsapi and wanted to leave a trace since it's not obvious.

Include the https://www.google.com/jsapi first, because it doesn't || on the window.google object. Next, place an empty <script/>. Next, include https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js as so:

  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"/>

  <script type="text/javascript">

  </script>

  <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3&key=XXX"></script>

The empty script is need only because your first script line to load jsapi is not actually closed.  The "/" at the end of the tag doesn't work, and so the script tag will eat up all the content until if finds a proper closing script tag: </script>.  Yes, it is not obvious, and we wrestled with a similar case ourselves very recently.
