Show google maps on mobile website

Is it possible to add google maps on a site designed specifically for the iPhone? I have never integrated maps in my websites before, so this question really goes more because of my inexperience. Using basic html and javascript at the moment.

The Google Maps API V3 is specifically designed to work efficiently on mobile devices. There are some great tutorials here and here.

I think, if you only need a google map with some simple function. The simplest way is use the MapKit.Framework, it's a part of iphone OS. You can find the document here.

If you need to load your own web site, you need to use UIWebView. you can find the document here(http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIWebView_Class/Reference/Reference.html).

I think these two ways can help you solve your problem. And sorry about the link, because I'm not allowed to post more than one hyperlink.

Any link to a Google Maps URL will automatically open in the Maps application, which may be more useful than simply embedding a map view in the website itself.

For example, a link to http://maps.google.com/maps?q=cupertino will automatically open the Maps application and run a search for "cupertino".
