No. Once the map has been created, you can't get a reference to it.
The reference must be made when the map is created with something like
var map = new GMap2(...);
In fact, if you have a map, there *must* be a line like that in the
code somewhere. Find it and you have your reference (although there
may be issues with the scope of the variable). You may be able to use
something like Firebug: in the DOM tab, you should look for "Object
{ wo = Object ... }" which will give you the variable name in the left-
hand column. This is also affected by the variable's scope, and the
API version. In v=2 or v=2.260, it's wo; it will be a different name
in other versions.
