A dependency on the "gjs" package is needed.

Ok, a "sudo /etc/init.d/dbus force-reload" was needed after installation.

I'm am getting the JS ERROR posted above as well on 14.04, but a dbus force-reload is not fixing it.

Same for me: A dbus force-reload did not not fix the problem. After a reboot it was working.

This happened to me (Ubuntu 14.04 64 bits, gnome-maps 3.10.2-1ubuntu1) the first time I installed the package: nothing would happen when launching it. So I uninstalled it, and when I wanted to check something after seeing this bug report, I re-installed it (I restarted the computer between installations) and now it works fine.

Hope this helps.
