title: Set a timeout limit for Google Maps, and how to test it?
body: <p>Is anyone out there using a timeout on with the google maps API?  I have a google map which gets loaded from the fusion table.  My client wants me to resort to a different solution if the maps doesn't load in x seconds.</p>
  
  <p>I tried using a javascript timeout function and $(document).ready, but found that the jquery ready was firing before the map was even rendered to the screen.  </p>
  
  <p>With all that said... does any one know a way to force a timeout to test some of the solutions that are available.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Andy</p>
