 * Creates a new TimeMap with map placemarks synched to timeline events
 * This will create the visible map, but not the timeline, which must be initialized separately.
 *
 * @constructor
 * @param {element} tElement     The timeline element.
 * @param {element} mElement     The map element.
 * @param {Object} options       A container for optional arguments:
 *   {Boolean} syncBands            Whether to synchronize all bands in timeline
 *   {GLatLng} mapCenter            Point for map center
 *   {Number} mapZoom               Intial map zoom level
 *   {GMapType} mapType             The maptype for the map
 *   {Array} mapTypes               The set of maptypes available for the map
 *   {Boolean} showMapTypeCtrl      Whether to display the map type control
 *   {Boolean} showMapCtrl          Whether to show map navigation control
 *   {Boolean} hidePastFuture       Whether to hide map placemarks for events not visible on timeline
 *   {Boolean} showMomentOnly       Whether to hide all but the current moment (bad for instant events)
 *   {Boolean} centerMapOnItems     Whether to center and zoom the map based on loaded item positions

/**
 * Intializes a TimeMap.
 *
 * This is an attempt to create a general initialization script that will
 * work in most cases. If you need a more complex initialization, write your
 * own script instead of using this one.
 *
 * The idea here is to throw all of the standard intialization settings into
 * a large object and then pass it to the TimeMap.init() function. The full
 * data format is outlined below, but if you leave elements off the script 
 * will use default settings instead.
 *
 * Call TimeMap.init() inside of an onLoad() function (or a jQuery 
 * $.(document).ready() function, or whatever you prefer). See the examples 
 * for usage.
 *
 * @param {Object} config   Full set of configuration options.
 *                          See examples/timemapinit_usage.js for format.
