I was just having a test with all the map available EVENT_TYPES.

EVENT_TYPES: [
        "addlayer", "removelayer", "changelayer", "movestart", "move",
        "moveend", "zoomend", "popupopen", "popupclose",
        "addmarker", "removemarker", "clearmarkers", "mouseover",
        "mouseout", "mousemove", "dragstart", "drag", "dragend",
        "changebaselayer"],

I can't figure out what are the dragX events for.

Though, I'm ok that the moveX events are sufficient for several cases.
