Events other than 'place_changed' for Google Maps Autocomplete

Question

I have an app that currently fires correctly on place_changed.

However, I want to branch search to behave differently when a user has selected an autocomplete entry,

If you add your own input handler (for example catching CR after user entering his own text), autocomplete and your function may call your method back to back. My solution is to use throttle to avoid the repeated call:

$('#sell_address_input').keyup(function(e){ if(e.keyCode==13){throttle(addressEntered(),1000)}});

....

function throttle(callback, limit) {
    var wait = false;             // Initially, we're not waiting
    return function () {          // We return a throttled function
        if (!wait) 
        {                         // If we're not waiting
          callback.call();        // Execute users function
          wait = true;            // Prevent future invocations
          setTimeout(function () 
          {                       // After a period of time
            wait = false;         // And allow future invocations
          }, limit);
        }
    }
}
