I’ve seen Google map plugins, not Google Earth (yet ;’). Don’t they have a dev/API site? Wonder how much info they have there?
this is from the GPSvisualizer FAQ:
Q. How can I save my Google Map to my desktop or my own Web site?
A. When GPS Visualizer creates a Google Map, it uses a “Google Maps API key” that is unique to gpsvisualizer.com; files created with that key can only be viewed while they are on this site. However, getting an API key is free, so if you want to put a saved map on your own site, you can sign up for your own key and replace my key with yours in the HTML source. Just edit the line that looks like this:
http://maps.google.com/maps?v=2&file=api&key=%5Blong_string_of_randomness%5D
If you just want to save the map on your computer’s hard drive and view it “locally,” it seems that this isn’t a problem at all with version 2 of the Google Maps API. (In version 1, you had to jump through an extra hoop or two to do so.)
But I don’t know what that means…… 😉

Google maps would be fine, if it can show tracks.
Pretty sure the ones I saw didn’t do ‘tracks’ OR multiple ‘markers’ 😛
I may have found a passable solution: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/49458?replies=3 I’ll test it later today!
I believe the google maps API does support showing KML files, to some degree.
Just sign up for a Google Maps API key, then use the GPSVisualizer code yourself, replacing their key with yours. Simple enough.
Hi
I’m doing what Otto says. Have a look at http://jesper.thusgaard.com
It works like a charm.

Wish I had something like that a few months ago
Follow the FAQ of GPSVisualizer, can’t replace API key to run the maps in my site. Is it in somewhere of maps file under aaa.files folder ? I can make it with Googlemap example webpage while I apply an API key.
Hope there is someone help me this lesson-one question.
so I will be able to share a series of historical map of world celebrity’s bibliography at http://www.mobitemple.net/blog/blog/9-front-desk/2006/09/18/235.php
Solution from GPSVisualizer:
Do NOT save the file from your Web browser in “complete” form with associated files. Save ONLY the Web page itself.
Has there been any progress on a Google Earth plug-in? I have KML files from Google Earth and I would like to display them on my WordPress blog. Before I get into GPS Visualizer and a Google Maps key I thought I would check.
I have searched, but there does not seem to be anything more recent than this.
Have you tried Plugin by Avi Alkalay at: http://avi.alkalay.net/2006/11/google-maps-plugin-for-wordpress.html
As of one of the more recent versions it will read a KML file and display it directly within a post. I am using it to reference my travels such as this example here:

Otherwise WordPress KML Viewer Plugin by Marco De Angelis might also be used to show KML data:
