I tried the google map modules with cmsms but found them limited compared to using the google map API directly.
I was looking for something that I could turn markers on/off and drill down to the data I wanted to display with a few clicks.
I could have used kml layers but decided to use "Exhibit" by MIT Simile
http://www.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/
I used the google spreadsheet technique to populate the data, however one can also use the Json or XML data format.
anyway this is what I ended up with, I inserted it in a iframe in the cmsms site:

recently I have been looking at mysql2json so perhaps there is a way to use Exhibit directly inside cmsms.
just thought I would share this very cool tool with you if you have not already heard of it...
