If you want to use google maps but don’t need a full-blown JS/Ajax map, you can now use static map images. The map is basically a request to maps.google.com that you can put into the src attribute of an image tag.

<!--
center: latitude and longitude of the map center
zoom: zoom level of the map
size: image size - up to 512x512 pixels maximum
maptype: roadmap (default) or mobile
markers: markers with latitude/longitude
-->
<img src="http://maps.google.com/staticmap?center=52.521305,13.413509&zoom=14&size=512x200&maptype=roadmap&markers=52.518443,13.393717,greenh&key=APIKEY">
