Google Maps for Absolute Dummies

Question

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), unfortunately 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.

Answer 2

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.
