Answer 1

If you have already created the map previously, you can set several options ( https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#MapOptions ) at once like this:

var myOptions = {
                    zoom:11,
                    center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644),
                    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
                    panControl: false
                };

map.set(myOptions);

Google Maps JavaScript API V3.25 update

Note that map.set() does not work in newer versions of Maps API. You have to use map.setOptions()

Found that I don't even need jQuery for this – it's already part of the Google Maps API. Simply do:

map.set('draggable', true);

Too easy! Hope it helps someone.
