We are experiencing an issue related to GoogleMaps. The issue is mainly related to touch screens. We were trying to resolve the issue, but so far no success.
We found in this article that the Google Maps API V3 does not supports touch event? Is this is true or false?
UPDATE
This issue was handled in the bug
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35824421
and was solved in version 3.27 of Google Maps JavaScript API in December 2016.

You won't be charged until your usage exceeds $200 in a month. Note that the Maps Embed API, Maps SDK for Android, and Maps SDK for iOS currently have no usage limits and are at no charge (usage of the API or SDKs is not applied against your $200 monthly credit).
The Google Maps Platform is a set of APIs and SDKs that allows developers to embed Google Maps into mobile apps and web pages, or to retrieve data from Google Maps.
The touch events interfaces are relatively low-level APIs that can be used to support application-specific multi-touch interactions such as a two-finger gesture. A multi-touch interaction starts when a finger (or stylus) first touches the contact surface.
In my experience, the mousedown, mouseup, dragstart, dragend events work fine in place of touchstart, touchmove, touchend.
google.maps.event.addListener(myMap, "mousedown", function(event){...});
I'm pretty sure that gesture events are not going to be supported, since those are used for pinch-zoom functionality.
If you need gestures, you'd have to build your own recognizer by tracking mousedown events, storing them in an array, then tracking positions to determine angles, distances etc...
