Hi guys Just found the reason why google map loads pretty slow. This happens because of my page where I tried use google map, loads for almost 10 seconds (average). So, and I am loading google map, initializing, etc since the page loads. I can't so much decrease page loading time, but I want to improve google map speed loading. So, I am going try to load google map, initialize, etc even if page not loads. Is it possible ? How is that secure ? Do you have similar experience ? Would be great if you confirm that it's possible :) Much appreciated for any help Thanks, Sergey
