Flexible Google Maps jQuery Plugin: gMap.

gMap is a lightweight (2kb) jQuery plugin for easily integrating Google Maps into any website.

It can embed a map with a tiny function like:

$("#map").gMap();

and can be customized further with settings like:

latitude/longitude
default zoom level
markers, their positions, info to display as a pop-up, custom marker images
mapping controls on/off
& more..
