Are there extensions for Google Maps?
Google Maps Select and Search (Extension)
Essentially, this extension allows you to pull up any address from any website in Google Maps with just two clicks. You don't have to copy and paste the text, nor do you have to go open Google Maps in a new tab on your own.
Is there a Google Maps API?
The Google Maps API is one of those clever bits of Google technology that helps you take the power of Google Maps and put it directly on your own site. It lets you add relevant content that is useful to your visitors and customise the look and feel of the map to fit with the style of your site.
