As can be found in this Github issue, you can include google scripts to all your pages. That fixes the issue with Turbolinks not executing gmaps4rails javascripts for newly navigated pages.

You can add them to all your pages typically by editing app/views/layouts/application.html.erb.

application.html.erb

  <%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
  <%= csrf_meta_tags %>

Also, don't forget to add the source code to your asset pipeline by editing app/assets/javascripts/application.js

application.js

Add this:

//= require gmaps/google

Now, the map should be loading without you having to refresh the page.
