jQuery has quickly become one of the most used JavaScript libraries around. Google Maps is possibly the most popular mapping website on the web. Wouldn't it be nice to connect the two easily using a small library? Well, jMaps is a library that does just that and version r64 has just been released.

Below is a rundown of the main features as posted on the jMaps Google Code page.

jMaps is a jQuery plugin that provides a really easy API to create and manage multiple google maps on any page.

  • Geocode and reverse any valid address in the world via Google's geocoding API
  • Search for directions to and from any location
  • Add and remove Markers
  • Add and remove polygons and polylines
  • Add and remove graphic layers on the map
  • Add and remove Google adsense layers
  • Add and remove Traffic layers
  • Get information back such as map center, map size, map type, etc
