Has anyone tried incorporating google maps in their web site.

if so was it easy.

I got a section on my site where business enter their address, I would like to take that info from the db and map it...

Depends on what you want to do ... just show the user's location or add your own icons etc.

If the former, I've done similar with mapQuest , but unless you buy their SDK or subscribe to their server, the free version you get day-to-day is best done with just a URL to their site.

You can do that simply by going to the site and looking up an address and looking at the final URL so you know how to format it. Then just set up the URL to the site in the same fashion using the address info the user supplied.
 
actually I got it almost working now....

Thanks....
