I\'m using Google Maps with jQuery Mobile.

I can bind a click event to the map easily enough, but is there a way to bind a long click? I\'d like to add a marker to

For anyone looking for a solution, I got this on the Google Maps forums, and it does the trick.

function LongClick(map, length) {
    this.length_ = length;
    var me = this;
    me.map_ = map;
    google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'mousedown', function(e) { me.onMouseDown_(e) });
    google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'mouseup', function(e) { me.onMouseUp_(e) });   
}   
LongClick.prototype.onMouseUp_ = function(e) {
    var now = +new Date;
    if (now - this.down_ > this.length_) {
        google.maps.event.trigger(this.map_, 'longpress', e);
    }   
}   
LongClick.prototype.onMouseDown_ = function() {
    this.down_ = +new Date;   
}
new LongClick(map, 300);
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'longpress', function(event) {
    do stuff...
}
