Use the google map widget.

Find the google map widget on the front "Add" menu. Take it and drop it somewhere on the page. A configuration dialog opens.

Page reload needed
Due to google API asynchronous loading, the googlemap widget makes an exception to Diem widget workflow. The first time you add a google map widget, you must save it then reload the page to activate the map.

Map

Search a place

Enter an address here. If google maps finds it, a marker will be added, and the map will be centered on it.

Map type

Select what the map will look like.

Zoom

Choose the zoom factor.

Controls

Navigation

Whether the final user can use navigation tools.

Map type

Whether the final user can change the map type.

Scale

Whether the user can use the scale tool.

Presentation

Dimensions

Choose the width and height for the map. The width defaults to 100%, which means the map will use all the widget width.

Splash

Choose a message that will get displayed while the map is loading, then will disappear.

CSS class

Add CSS classes to the widget.

Use the _map helper

The _map function allows to configure and render programmatically google maps from your templates.

Include the template helper
_map lives in the DmGoogleMap template helper. This helper is not automatically loaded. You have to write

use_helper('DmGoogleMap');  

on your template in order to use it.

Simply render a map

Center on address

use_helper('DmGoogleMap');
 
echo _map()->address('paris, france');  

Center on coords

use_helper('DmGoogleMap');
 
echo _map()->center(49.12, 2.08);  

Add markers

use_helper('DmGoogleMap');
 
echo _map()  
->center(49.12, 2.08)  
->markers(array(  
  // simple marker  
  array('lat' => 48, 'lng' => 2, 'title' => 'The marker title attribute')  
  // marker with an info window  
  array('lat' => 49, 'lng' => 2, 'title' => 'Click me', 'html' => 'HTML to show in an info window'),  
  // marker with a custom icon  
  array('lat' => 48, 'lng' => 2, 'title' => 'Another marker', 'icon' => 'http://.../icon.png')  
));  

Width and height

When displaying a map programmatically, you should use stylesheets to define the width and height.
Alternatively, you can use the ->style() method.

use_helper('DmGoogleMap');
 
echo _map()  
->address('paris, france')  
->style('height: 200px');  

Complete example

This example uses all available options.

echo _map()                           // get a map                   
->address('paris, france')            // search an address  
->mapType('hybrid')                   // choose an appearence  
->zoom(12)                            // zoom level (1-20)  
->navigationControl(true)             // show navigation controls  
->mapTypeControl(true)                // show map type controls  
->scaleControl(true)                  // show zoom controls  
->style('width: 100%; height: 250px') // hardcode width and height (use CSS instead)  
->splash('The map is loading...')     // show a wait message while the map loads  
->set('#my_map.big_bog');             // add and id and a CSS class
