Yes, 0.17 has just been released. It introduces effect modules which are
designed for interacting with stateful things like google maps.
Unfortunately since the release is brand new, there is little documentation
on effect modules. The best way to try it is probably to checkout the
websocket example:
https://github.com/elm-lang/websocket/blob/master/src/WebSocket.elm

The Cmd type would correspond to methods you want to call into the google
maps library, and Sub type would correspond to the callbacks that you need
to get from the library.
