gmap module / Google Earth map in a block

I have gmap module and I configured it to the Google Earth Plugin, and it works. Now, however, I'd like to have it in a block. I want to create a unique clients page that will show the globe with pins sticking out of it for the location of the offices of each of my clients. (not too many now). How can I set it up in a block, rather than a page?

Also, some of the new Google Earth demos were rather cool, and I'd like to put up something similar to the "Monster Milk Truck", only with Shanghai as the city. I can figure that out, but what about embedding it into a page? A lot of javascript there that doesn't show up even under Full HTML.

Cheers,

Eric
