Here's another example, very similar just presented differently.

Mostly you are just going to need to understand at least some javascript, so at a minimum you can modify the examples to work with your own data. Documentation on the Google Maps API is here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial)

Hi all,

I constructed my google maps using query objects and the following google map parameters https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/staticmaps/
I tied in contact details to google maps under a map button.  No Javascripting at all.

Works well.
Cheers

Thanks for posting that AussiePete2011. That's a pretty cool way to do it that I did not know existed; examples I saw always seemed to need javascript calls to the APIs.
