The Google Maps JQuery Plugin attempts to simply the process of adding maps to a page. Having less than 10KB of JavaScript, this plugin lets you simplify embed Google Maps using the Google Maps JavaScript API in your webpages. Since portions of the map (div container, info window) can be controlled through CSS, you can create your own style. The plugin’s options (latitude, longitude, depth, layer, controls, markers, polylines, pan) are interchangeable and can be used together.

Some of the features that can be used are:

• Custom Latitude & Longitude
• Custom Depth (Zoom Level)
• Polyline Load
• Pan Map
• Place layer data set on the map
• Place single or multiple markers (e.g. custom icons) on the maps
• Map control position
• Add/Hide control/controls

PS: To use the Google Maps JavaScript API, you need to sign up for an API key.
