Here's my solution for using the maps api with Angularjs routeProvider: in your index you have to add:

angular-google-maps.min.js and lodash.min.js

in application.js:

(function() {

var app = angular.module("myApp", ["ngRoute", "uiGmapgoogle-maps"]);


app.config(function(uiGmapGoogleMapApiProvider) {
    uiGmapGoogleMapApiProvider.configure({
        key: 'YOUR KEY HERE',
        v: '3.17',
        libraries: 'weather,geometry,visualization'
    });
});

app.config(function($routeProvider) {
    $routeProvider
        .when("/home", {
            templateUrl: "home.html",
            controller: "HomeController"
        })
        .when("/workwith", {
            templateUrl: "workwith.html",
            controller: "WorkwithController"
        })




    .otherwise({
        redirectTo: "/home"
    });

});

})();

Last But not least in your controller:

(function() {
var app = angular.module("myApp");
var MyController = function($scope, $http, $log, $location, $routeParams, uiGmapGoogleMapApi) {
    $log.info("MyController");
    $log.info($routeParams);

    // Define variables for our Map object
    var areaLat = 44.2126995,
        areaLng = -100.2471641,
        areaZoom = 3;

    uiGmapGoogleMapApi.then(function(maps) {
        $scope.map = {
            center: {
                latitude: areaLat,
                longitude: areaLng
            },
            zoom: areaZoom
        };
        $scope.options = {
            scrollwheel: false
        };
    });    
 };
app.controller("MyController", MyController);

})();
