I think the issue is variable collisions.
MapGadget.prototype.earth = function( object )
{ this.earth = object;
so you have a function called earth, on the final MapGadget object,
but then you assign object to this.earth which I think is the same.
(so its trying to overright itself)
I think you just need (bacause when the 'prototype' is being run in
final object )
....
this.gmap.getEarthInstance( this.earthCallback);
...
MapGadget.prototype.earthCallback = function( object )
{ this.earth = object;
