jquery-ui-map – Google map v3 plugin for jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile – Google Project Hosting

The Google Map version 3 plugin for jQuery UI takes away some of the head aches from working with the Google Map Api. Instead of having to use Google event listeners for simple events like click, you can use jQuery click events on the map and markers.

It is also very flexible, highly customizable, lightweight (4.9KB) and works out of the box with jQuery mobile. But one of its best features is that you can populate a map from microformats, RDFa or microdata on your site, which can be used as a fallback when a user doesn’t have javascript enabled.
