I was browsing through the kyanmedia.com website and found that they have a Google Maps gadget on their sidebar of the contact page(http://kyanmedia.com/contact). The map also has a "where to find us" function in which driving directions are shown once the user inputs his location. I want to build the same thing for my website. I know it is made from the Google Maps API but do not know how to make this one. Can anybody please help? Thanks a ton in advance!

go to http://maps.google.com/ and put in your location/address on the top right click "Link", then copy/paste and edit as necessary
