The Google Maps plugin is very cool. 

I had planned to get crazy and let my users place maps at meetings
locations, event locations, etc. Wherever they wanted to, right?

In reviewing the Google API docs, the requirements is that each Api Key be
specific for a sub-directory on your site. For a static html site, that
might not be a problem. But for a dynamic site with friendly URLs, this
isn't going to work very easily.

A couple possibilities:

1) Modify the plugin to enable users to input a distinct API Key when they
create their map. Then modify the execution of the code so that the key is
obtained from the data instead of the _serverSpecificVars template.

2) Decide to NOT get crazy and restrict users from putting maps all over the
place. 

3) Look for a more flexible maps solution. Perhaps Yahoo, etc.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
