I am sorry I had to attach the file here, because Yii site says I’m too new to add extensions, funny thing I’m not too new to make one 
Things you might like to know about it:
-
loosely based on http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/gmap [removed a bit of useless code]
-
works with Google Maps JS API v3 (instead of v2 in gmaps extension)
[size="5"]Install[/size]
just extract to protected/extensions/ directory
[size="5"]How to use?[/size]
[list=1]
[*]open you view file
[*]add the code
<?php
$this->widget('application.extensions.gmapv3.GMap', array(
'id' => 'gmap3',
'key' => 'my google maps API key',
'address' => array(
'address' => 'Some nice street address here', //address of the place
'city' => 'Varna',
//'state' => 'CA',
'country' => 'Bulgaria'
//'zip' => 'XXXXX' - zip or postal code
),
'zoom' => 14, //0 to 17
'height' => '250px',
'width' => '250px',
));
?>
[*]edit the values to suit your purposes, you can comment/remove the city/state/country/zip lines and give full human readable address
