Answer 1

Use event.trigger;

google.maps.event.trigger(markerObject, 'dragend', args);

Why? The event callback needs to know which marker! – Ereshkigal

Answer 2

This is a bit more complete:

theListener = google.maps.event.addListener(posSelectMarker,'dragend',function(event){
    console.log(event.latLng);
});

Note that you can get at the object with the event param

this is not the answer. you add listener instead of execute it – Conjugal

Answer 3

Should be:

google.maps.event.addListener

instead of:

google.maps.event.trigger

Quick example:

google.maps.event.addListener(marker_var_name, 'dragend', function(){
    alert('drag ended')
});

triggering means firing the event manually. addListener is used for listening on an event. – Drummer

Answer 4

If you have the marker object, you could call addListener directly to add a dragend event.

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    ...
)};

marker.addListener('dragend', function() {
    // do something
});
