Update (2007-05-21): Use gmap module instead.

Here is an easy way to integrate Google Maps into Drupal block/node. See the right block example on my front page.

• Since it requires content with javascript, I would recommend creating a 'Raw format' input format with no filter. Go to administer » input formats and add a new input format, I name mine 'Raw'.
• Next, get the Chouser's Google Maps EZ javascript. See attachment below of this blog for the file.
• Request a free key for the Google Maps API.
• Create a block/node and insert the following code:

  		<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=1
  	&key=yourgoogleapikey" mce_src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=1
  	&key=yourgoogleapikey" type="text/javascript">
  	</script>
  	<script src="http://yoursite.com/gmapez.js" 
  	type="text/javascript">
  	</script>
  	<div class="GMapEZ" style="width: 300px; height: 300px;">
  	</div>
  	

• More customization can be done following these example snippets.

That's all, have fun with your map. Thanks Josh for the tip.
