You can use the code below to create your own map you just need to get a Google Maps API key from Google Maps and insert it in line 6. In line 30 you can add html markup to modify how the call out box appears and what it contains. Just expand the code box below to check it out.

You can visit a LIVE SAMPLE or download the full html page and associated data.xml file from HERE.
