If getting an API key is beyond the skill set or desires of your users, but they still want to be able to have a Google map, this plugin is the answer. It adds a button to the visual editor that allows them to use the link from Google Maps to embed a plugin. Blog administrators can set defaults for width, height, marginwidth, marginheight, frameborder, and scrolling properties for the embed code. Users can override these defaults when they are creating a post or page. Power users can directly enter a shortcode in a post, page or widget. Shortcode should be entered in the following format:

[cetsEmbedGmap src=http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=37.0625,-95.677068&spn=53.609468,107.138672&z=4 width=350 height=425 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 frameborder=0 scrolling=no]

This version adds a quicktag to the html editor, opens the larger map in a new window, and defaults to map view instead of sat view.
