Styling issues when using jquery mobile and google maps -- needs refresh to fit

I started writing my mobile site and I encountered the following problem:

When I first load the index page, and click on maps page, then I see only one small part (top left) occupied by google maps. But if I load maps page directly, it loads correctly:

Again: if I go directly to page with maps, it works great!

Here is the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ggrEH/7/

In jQuery Mobile, by default the pages are loaded through AJAX. That's the difference between opening the page directly and through navigation. It is recommended to use a jQuery Mobile event to initialize the map.

I've modified your example:

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
    <head> 
        <title>Map Example Multiple Pages</title> 
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
        <title>jQuery mobile with Google maps</title>
        <meta content="en" http-equiv="content-language">
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.3.0/jquery.mobile-1.3.0.min.css" />
        <style>
            #map_canvas{
                padding-top:0px;
                padding-bottom:-1px;
                padding-left:0px;
                height:auto;
                position:absolute;
                width:100%;
                height:95%;
                max-height:1600px;
                max-width:1600px;
                overflow:hidden;
                display:block;
            }
        </style>
        <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.2.min.js"></script>
        <script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.3.0/jquery.mobile-1.3.0.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3&sensor=false&language=en"></script>
        <script>
            function initialize() {
                var mapCenter = new google.maps.LatLng(59.3426606750, 18.0736160278),
                myOptions = {
                    zoom:10,
                    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
                    center: mapCenter
                },
                map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
            }

            $(document).on("pageshow", "#map-page", function() {
                if ($("#map_canvas").html() === '') {
                    initialize();
                }
            });
        </script>
    </head>

    <body>
        <div data-role="page" id="home-page">
            <!-- /header -->
            <div data-role="header">
                <h1>Maps</h1>
            </div>
            <!-- /content -->
            <div data-role="content">
                <a href="#map-page" data-role="button" data-transition="fade">Click to see the Map</a>
            </div>
        </div>

        <!-- /page -->
        <div data-role="page" id="map-page">
            <!-- /header -->
            <div data-role="header">
                <h1>Map</h1>
                <a href="#home-page" data-icon="home">Home</a>
            </div>
            <!-- /content -->
            <div data-role="content" style="width:100%; height:100%; padding:0; max-height:1600px;">
                <div id="map_canvas"></div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

            }

            $(document).on("pageshow", "#maps", function() {
