In version 3 of the Maps API you can simply set the scrollwheel
option to false within the MapOptions properties:
options = $.extend({
scrollwheel: false,
navigationControl: false,
mapTypeControl: false,
scaleControl: false,
draggable: false,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}, options);
If you were using version 2 of the Maps API you would have had to use the disableScrollWheelZoom() API call as follows:
map.disableScrollWheelZoom();
The scrollwheel
zooming is enabled by default in version 3 of the Maps API, but in version 2 it is disabled unless explicitly enabled with the enableScrollWheelZoom()
API call.
This is the simplest I could reduce it to:

There is some closure magic happening when passing the callback argument to the addListener
method. This can be quite a tricky topic if you are not familiar with how closures work. I would suggest checking out the following Mozilla article for a brief introduction if it is the case:

Yes. The usage limit for Google maps APIs affects only when your site gets more traffic.
Each API has its own usage limitation.
Google Maps Javascript API : up to 25,000 map loads per day for each service.
This includes:
loaded by a web page or application;
If you think that your site exceeds these usage limit, then you should consider to purchase a Maps API for Business license.
Check the following sites for additional information:
