Does Google crawl javascript dynamic content?

Hi,
On my wordpress website i use a Plugin which acts like a store locator.
It shows stores on a Google map which can by loaded, on page load, or by a query generated by a user.
The listings which show up (stores/addresses) on the Google Maps and in a list are visible if you inspect the page with developer tools build in Firefox or Chrome. However they are not visible if you just check the source code. This is because the results listed up through JS after a Query is fired or on page load.
My question is: Does Google crawl dynamic content like this?
