With WP Cloudmade Maps you are able to add static and interactive maps to your website using Cloudmades designable OpenStreetMaps-Data. 
This way you can add maps that fits your webdesign. Choose from over 50.000 <a href="http://maps.cloudmade.com/editor" title="Have a look at the style editor and find your style by color or tag" rel="nofollow ugc">ready-to-use map styles</a> or create your own with the CloudMade Style Editor.
The Plugin comes with
<ul>
<li>a widget to show your last geotagged posts with static maps,</li>
<li>a shortcode for static maps</li>
<li>two shortcodes for interactive maps</li>
</ul>
and countless attributes, to fit the maps your ideas.
All shortcodes are accessible via an user-friendly tinymce button and a lightweight configuration interface for editors. 
As Administrator you’re able to set everything as defaults, so your editor just have to ‘click & drop’ a new map inside a post, page or a custom_post_type at all.
