I'm playing with google maps a bit right now, and am mainly using it to map out small groups, events, and things like that for my church. Apparently, all you have to do is request a "key" that allows you to access google maps (only for non-commercial use though) then use javascript to call the map, and set up items on the map.
My testing site so far is at http://maps.woventhorns.com and doesn't really have a whole lot on it, but I'll be playing with different features throughout the week when I get the chance to play around.
I'm actually pulling the info from a MySQL database that then spits out the javascript required to create the markers on the map. I also have another script that accesses the GeoCoder site to convert addresses to latitude and longitude (which are required for adding markers to google maps).
