Every Google Maps map needs a container (<div id="map"></div> in this demo), which needs to have width and height, and be visible (without display: none, for example):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Test</title>
  <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>
  <script src="gmaps.core.js"></script>
  <script src="gmaps.controls.js"></script>
  <style type="text/css">
    #map {
      width: 400px;
      height: 400px;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="map"></div>
  <script>
    var map = new GMaps({
      el : '#basic-map',
      lat: -12.0433,
      lng: -77.0283,
      zoom: 12
    });

    map.addControl({
      position: 'top_right',
      content: 'Geolocate',
      style: {
        margin: '5px',
        padding: '1px 6px',
        border: 'solid 1px #717B87',
        background: '#fff'
      },
      events: {
        click: function(){
          console.log('User geolocated');
        }
      }
    });
  </script>
</body>
</html>
