Ok, that looks not to bad. How do you think we retrieve the map object again later? We could store the object with .data() and return this object on subsequent .map() calls.

$('#map').map({someoptions})
// later
$('#map').map().center(lonlat);

It would be cool to have working CSS selectors like
$('#map #mylayer').hide(). It might work some custom selectors $('#map :layer("mylayer")').layer().disable()
