You need to obtain a key from google, have a look on their web site to obtain one.

 

A code like that one should do the job

 

The line

var kml = new GGeoXml("http://MyServer/MyFile.kml");

is to be able to use your own kml file, remove it if you don't want to display any information like that.

 

 

<head> 
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2.x&key=MyKeyFromGoogle" type="text/javascript"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
var map = null; 
var geocoder = null; 
var address = "{!Account.BillingStreet}, {!Account.BillingPostalCode} {!Account.BillingCity}, {!Account.BillingState}, {!Account.BillingCountry}"; 
function initialize() { 
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) { 
map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas")); 
map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl()); 
geocoder = new GClientGeocoder(); 
geocoder.getLatLng( 
address, 
function(point) { 
if (!point) { 
document.getElementById("map_canvas").innerHTML = address + " not found"; 
} else { 
map.setCenter(point, 13); 
var marker = new GMarker(point); 
map.addOverlay(marker); 
marker.bindInfoWindowHtml("{!Account.Name}<br>{!Account.BillingStreet}<br>{!Account.BillingPostalCode}&nbsp; {!Account.BillingCity}<br>{!Account.BillingCountry}"); 
} 
} 
); 
var kml = new GGeoXml("http://MyServer/MyFile.kml");
map.addOverlay(kml);
} 
} 
</script> 
</head> 
<body onload="initialize()" onunload="GUnload()"> 
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:100%;height:300px"></div> 
</body>
