You're on the right track. Try something like this:
<div ex:role="lens"
...
ex:onshow="initializeMap(this);"
>
...
<div ex:id-subcontent="map-{{value}}"
ex:latlng-content=".latlng"></div>
...
</div>
And include this Javascript code
<script>
function initializeMap(elmt) {
var itemID = elmt.getAttribute("ex:itemID");
var mapDiv = document.getElementById("map-" + itemID);
var latlng = mapDiv.getAttribute("latlng");
... initialize your map ...
}
</script>
There is a caveat. Right now there is no handler for disposing the maps
created inside lenses. That means that when the lenses are disposed
(simply removed from the DOM), the maps might be leaking memory.
