Responsive Styled Google Maps Simplified (responsive-styled-google-maps-simplified) free WordPress plugin

If you need to quickly set up a responsive (100% width, mobile friendly) map, this is a solution for you. The map can be a classic, colored map or a black-white one. You can use the shortcode in a page, in a post, in the footer of your website or in a sidebar widget.
