How to integrate Google Maps with my site which has US addresses ?

I am looking to integrate Google Maps with my website which has office info's spread all over US. There are 5000 nodes, each with office name, office address, city, state, pin code etc. I have created New fields like city, pincode etc using cck.

Now I am just wondering How can I display google map on Every node ? Each Node (i.e. page) of my website, lets say www.example.com/austin/car-dealer has this info -

Agency Type:
Accountants Employment Agencies
Address:
3010 LBJ Fwy Suite 710
City:
Dallas
Zipcode:
75234
State:
TX
Phone Number:
(972)241-1543

Where the Bold fields are the CCK fields. Now as you can see, I have the zip codes and the address, so I think I should be easily able to integrate the gMap to the site below this text, isn't it ?

I have never used gmap nor location module so not sure if I can do it. Can someone help me on this.

Thanks a ton.

I'm in the same boat: hundreds of CCK nodes that have text fields labeled address, city, state, zip, want a small map displayed at the lower right of each node. The location module creates its own fields, can't make sue of mine. The gmap cck field uses location, not my fields (and when I manually copeid my fields to the location fields, the gmap thing didn't work anyway).

There is a See Maps cck thing that lets you map fields (cool! just what I need I think) but it didn't present anything afetr I configured it. Plus it would just present a link anyway.

This has to be easily achieveable. Hasn't anyone faced this before?
