It seems the mousedown is consumed by the Maps API to enable dragging
support.
I did a search on the Google-Maps-API group and found a number of
suggestions.

I'm using GWT 1.5.3 with gwt-maps-1.0 to put a map on my web page.
I'd like the user to be able to drag out a box on the map by clicking
the left mouse button on the upper left corner of the box and dragging
it to the lower right corner, with rubber-banding so the box displays
during the drag.
