I am trying to get the map to show using the Google geocoder widget when the field is at first hidden.

If I have access to the map object I can do something like this:

var map = Drupal.geolocation.maps[0].google_map, center = map.getCenter();
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize');
map.setCenter(center);

I can't really see why the object couldn't be stored via the add_map function. See the following patch.

Don't know why the tests fail with "The test did not complete due to a fatal error."

Great thanks for the patch. How would other users benefit from this?

Well, it exposes up the object to javascript and allows you to programmatically modify the map after it has been added. You can use anything from the API. By doing this, it allows devs (eg. me) the ability to workaround edge cases (like refreshing hidden maps) without having to specifically put more cruft in the module, especially when these type of issues may only be transitory and might disappear in the future.
