Google Maps for Absolute Dummies

I just signed up for a Google Maps API key and was hoping for a wizard style application for setting up the map (not a static one), unfort开发者_运维知识库unately I was immediately blinded by science!

Can anyone point me to a tutorial where I can find out how to create a simple google map and place a callout bubble including am image of the office and address details.

The documentation for Google maps is pretty fantastic. That's how I learned to use it.

There's a section for Basics in the docs. That might be a good place to start.

If all you're looking to do is show a map with an infowindow, you might want to take a look at the embedding options here: http://maps.google.com/help/maps/getmaps/quick.html

It'll let you easily embed a map on your site, without to much science!

Shameless self-promotion

If you are happy to use C# this may or may not help - Lookup on all postcodes on a webpage, and plot them with Google maps. It doesn't really need much ASP.NET/C# knowledge beyond the basics.
