I added the javascript needed to load the google maps into my page:
<% content_for :head do %>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=API_KEY&sensor=false">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(<%=@lat%>, <%=@lon%>),
zoom: 5,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
mapOptions);
}
</script>
<% end %>
as you can see i need to pass the parameters latitude and longitude when i load the map. As i said in the title i want to put these javascripts into the asset pipeline, is it possible if yes how ? thanks

You should not include the Google Maps API in your asset-pipeline-generated application.js file. Instead it should be included as a separate <script> tag before your application.js's <script> tag.
You can then add your initialize() method into any file included in your asset pipeline, including application.js itself.
You'll probably want to make @lat and @lon arguments of your initialize method though so they can be defined within your pages <head>. For example, you might have
<head>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=API_KEY&sensor=false"></script>
<%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
<script>
var latitude = <%= @lat %>;
var longitude = <%= @lon %>;
</script>
</head>
and in your application.js file you might have
function initialize(latitude, longitude) {
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(latitude, longitude),
zoom: 5,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
mapOptions);
}
$(function() {
initialize(latitude, longitude);
});
