I had to design a website for a house on sale lately. I was looking for the best way of putting up a map of the area and pinpoint the location house on it.
I came accross the google ajax map search wizard, which from a combination of information (postcode, house number, area name, etc) generates a control which code you can just copy and paste in your html.
The height and width of the control is adjustable, you can search for places on the map, zoom in and out and drag the map around from within the control, it really is having a google map in your site.
It's great, and the result looks awesome on the webpage (EDIT: there is now an English version of this page)
