Implementing jQuery and Google Maps API 3

Experts,

I need to embed Google Maps on a web page.

I was able to get the basic map using an <iframe>, but the rendering was cludgy and slow.

I love the brevity and elegance of jQuery.  I've found lots of cool demos and plugins, but I can't get a single one to give me an actual map on my page.  Lots of them use API v. 2, which is deprecated.  I'd like to use the new version.

Can anyone point me to some well-documented examples and plugins that actually work?  I need good examples to get started.  Slow learner!

I am using jquery and api v3 on this page:

There are more details of course, but as a proof that it's possible here ya go.

What I'm doing here is reading the id from the querystring, executing a .get() to fetch the venue details, then populating the map details based on the returned values.

This is exactly the sort of effect I need!

Glad to see you got it!  Now how do I do the same?

Woo hoo!

Now I need to know more about those latlng values.  The ones I've seen look more like 50 degrees 50.025 N  112deg 14.600 W.

The ones you show look a bit different.

Can you help me figure out how to move these map coordinates?
