    Haven't looked into it yet, but I'm sure someone on here will have an answer, I'm looking into doing a website embedding Google Maps into it using the API, I'm just wondering if I done this, can I put markers on certain places on the map within the site?
    Cheers.

    Yep!
    var gLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(52, -6);
    var myOptions = {
         zoom: 12,
         mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
    };
    var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("Map"), myOptions);
    map.setCenter(gLatLng);
    new google.maps.Marker({
          position: gLatLng,
          map: map,
          title: 'My Marker'
    });
    

    You can create additional markers by
    var myNewLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(50,0);
    new google.maps.Marker({
          position: myNewLatLng,
          map: map,
          title: 'My New Marker'
    });

    Cheers, do you have any useful links? It's for a college project, but I'm want to have it fully researched before I go out of my depth.:D

    Google have pretty decent documentation on their Maps Apis. You'll probably want Maps Javascript Api version 3

    Have a look at GWT. It gives you the use of map lib's plus no java script, all java widgets which get compiled into js. Useful if you come from a java background. Good luck.
