Demo link or sample code:
http://app.volkswagen.de/dcc/de/dealers.html
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Loading the site, reliably with Opera Presto or IE9, less reliable with
newer browser versions
2. Alternatively, using a tool like fiddler to delay the google maps code will
allow reproduction on all environments
Expected result:
[Describe what you expected to happen]
Actual result:
The titular javascript error occurs and blocks all further execution of the site
Version: 1.1.12
Browser / Operating System:
Opera Presto, IE9 reliably, other browsers with fiddler
Additional comments:
We have been deploying version of this site across different markets for months
now, none of them had this issue (e.g. app.volkswagen.fr/dcc/fr/dealers.html),
it also only occurs, unfortunately, on the production site.
It is obvious from the error and from the network waterfall charts that the
problem is the library script expecting all google maps objects at a point when
they are not yet loaded.
I know from issue 42 that it is recommended to load infobox.js dynamically in
cases where google maps scripts are loaded "dynamically", but it seems odd as
the very first google maps script tag is not dynamic at all (it obviously
inserts its own scripts dynamically, but that's always the case, the original
script tag itself is static and before our library scripts). This is the way
the script is inserted in all demo codes as well
(https://code.google.com/p/google-maps-utility-library-v3/source/browse/trunk/in
fobox/examples/infobox-basic.html - line 4 & 5) - first the google maps script
tag, then the infobox js (in our case, as part of many libraries).
Obviously, the remedy we'll try is to load the library code upon the successful
loading of google maps itself, but I'm wondering whether I'm not seeting
something in the architecture here.

(expected result - page loads and displays dealers and their infoboxes in all
their glory)
