Answer 1

This function at line number 629ish in prototype.js is causing the exception. Simply add try catch blocks as shown below. It works with any Google Maps API.

collect: function(iterator, context) {
  iterator = iterator ? iterator.bind(context) : Prototype.K;
  var results = [];
  try {
    this.each(function(value, index) {
      results.push(iterator(value, index));
    });
  } catch (err) {}
  return results;
}
