Answer 1

I have done it already.

First time I try with same as your problem. A GPS map in bootstrap content-tab. And I just load or initial map with tab click event by something like this.

var map = undefined;
var marker = undefined;
var position = [13.821805500000002, 100.84968549999999];
var latlng;

function initialize() {

    latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(position[0], position[1]);
    var myOptions = {
        zoom: 11,
        center: latlng,
        mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
    };
    map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
    marker = new google.maps.Marker({
        position: latlng,
        map: map,
        draggable: true,
        title: "Your current location!"
    });

    google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'drag', function() {
        $('#txtlat').val(marker.position.lat());
        $('#txtlng').val(marker.position.lng());
    }
    );
}

    $(document).ready(function() {
          $("div.tabbable ul.nav  a[href=#gps_tab]").bind('click', function() {
                  initialize();
                 $("#map_canvas").show();
           });
    });

Posted the answer I found as comment before, but to make it more visible, here is the answer: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/2475

You must add a javascript callback that will manually set the height of the map-canvas when the window is resized, for example.

$(window).resize(function () {
    var h = $(window).height(),
        offsetTop = 60; // Calculate the top offset

    $('#map-canvas').css('height', (h - offsetTop));
}).resize();
