What is the Google Maps API?
The Google Maps API lets you embed Google Maps in your own web pages with JavaScript. The API
provides a number of utilities for manipulating maps (just like on the
http://maps.google.com web page) and adding
content to the map through a variety of services, allowing you to create robust maps
applications on your website.

The Maps API is a free beta service, available for any web site that is free to consumers.
Please see the terms of use for more information.
To use the Maps API on an intranet or in a non-publicly accessible application,
please check out Google Maps for Enterprise.
