Interactive world map

Question

I'm looking for a javascript world map, much like Google Maps, that can be embedded into a webpage, and extended so I can plot my own points on it. The major catch is that the map needs to be completely usable without an internet connection (i.e., local intranet). It doesn't need to have the same level of detail as Google Maps, but should be able to have a little bit of zoom capabilities. Any ideas?

Edit: I'm not talking about a street map, more like an atlas map, preferably with terrain data. Sorry

You may want to investigate OpenLayers, which is an open source web-based mapping engine.
