If you’re interested in building maps with the Google Maps API, you should be aware of the relevant Google Group. You might also find the Phoogle Maps PHP class useful: it does a lat/long lookup of a street address so that you don’t need to know the precise coordinates (via Google Maps Mania).

I would like to reccomend http://www.mapbuilder.net. It is an excellent tool to build your own google maps without any knowledge of Google API and JavaScript.
