title: google maps event timestamp
body: <p>Is it possible to get a time stamp from a google maps listener event? I want to have a mousemove event but I need to be able to throttle it. Here is some code of what I am hoping to accomplish. The reason I need a google maps event is for the lat/lng it also returns.</p>
  
  <pre><code>var lastMoved = 0;
  google.maps.event.addListener(mapObject, "mousemove", function(event){
  
      if(event.timeStamp - lastMoved &gt; 1000){
          alert("Hello!");
          lastMoved = event.timeStamp;
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
