title: Google Maps API v3 BrowserIsCompatible
body: <p>I'm updating some older code that used the v2 API for Google Maps. On domready, it would use a statement like </p>
  
  <pre><code>if(google.maps.BrowserIsCompatible()){
  // load the map
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now that I'm loading the Google Maps API v3, I get an error </p>
  
  <p><em>google.maps.BrowserIsCompatible is not a function</em></p>
  
  <p>I've read a ton of threads in the Google v3 api groups, but haven't found a clear answer of what the new function is called or how to reference it.</p>
