Google maps not working IE11 (sharepoint 2010) - google-maps

Question

I have a code to show Google Maps in my list on Sharepoint 2010. Code plot list items in the map. Work great with Edge and Chrome, but on IE not.
In IE console error on this line (object doesn't support this action (error 445))
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(defaultLatitude,defaultLongitude);
//build map
$('#'+idOfMapDiv).css({"width":mapWidth, "height":mapHeight});
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(defaultLatitude,defaultLongitude);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 6,
center: latlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var gmMap = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById(idOfMapDiv), myOptions);
var gmBounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
var gmGeocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var jQuerySelect_GetListRowByAttributeCTXName;
if(isSharePoint2010)
{
jQuerySelect_GetListRowByAttributeCTXName = jQuerySelect_2010_GetListRowByAttributeCTXName;
}
else
{
jQuerySelect_GetListRowByAttributeCTXName = jQuerySelect_2007_GetListRowByAttributeCTXName;
}

Just to put an answer to this question, adding the meta tag of <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8"> would solve the issue.
