Question: Accessing the map context from other components

[EstesE]

I need to access the google map object from another component so I can set zoom level and bounds when a user selects a marker from my dropdown component. How can I access the map from another component?

application template:
{{my-map model=items customOptions=customOptions}}

my-map component template:

<div id="floating-panel">
    {{!-- side panel to display information about the marker --}}
    {{side-panel}}
</div>

{{#g-map id="map" options=customOptions class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-4by3"  markersFitMode='live' as |context|}}

    {{#each model as |item index|}}{{item.address.geo.lng}}
        {{#g-map-marker context lat=item.address.geo.lat lng=item.address.geo.lng onClick=(action "handleClick" item context) as |markerContext|}}
        {{/g-map-marker}}
    {{/each}}

{{/g-map}}

<div class="mapMarkerSelector">
    {{!-- dropdown to select markers --}}
    {{marker-selector model=model }}
</div>

I ended up using an eventBus. I think it will do what I require.
