title: Google map display from a hidden area
body: <p>I really hope someone can advise on displaying a google map from a hidden div.</p>
  
  <p>I have a google map which I want to show a user if they click on a link ie, Show Map.</p>
  
  <p>Putting the map in a hidden div just does not work at all so I went with hiding the map -1000px on a position absolute css value.</p>
  
  <p>This has given me much better results but when I use css to bring the map back in only have of it shows.</p>

  <p>Hope someone can advise.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
