Enables Google Maps in Vaadin 7 projects via JavaScript API 3!

Get it from Vaadin Directory.

Check out the demo @ http://tapio.app.fi/googlemaps/.

If you don't use dependency management (i.e. Maven or Ivy) you'll have to manually add GWT-Maps-V3-Api and GWT-AjaxLoader jars to your project. Without them you'll get errors like

[ERROR] Unable to find 'com/google/gwt/maps/Maps.gwt.xml' on your classpath;` 

while trying to compile the widgetset.

In order to use Google Maps API, you'll need to get an API key from Google Developers Console. The key is not normally needed when developing in localhost.
