              You may want to use the Google Maps API. It will render in a <div>, as in the following example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html> 
<head> 
   <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/> 
   <title>Google Maps Basic Demo</title> 
   <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&amp;v=2&amp;sensor=false" 
           type="text/javascript"></script> 
</head> 
<body onunload="GUnload()"> 
   <div id="map" style="width: 400px; height: 300px"></div> 
   <script type="text/javascript"> 
   if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
      var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
      map.setUIToDefault();
      map.setCenter(new GLatLng(39.00, -77.00), 5);
   }
   </script> 
</body> 
</html>

              What are benefits to use any jquery plugin related to Maps inplace of Google Map's default Iframe code?

                Using a jquery plugin may make it easier to implement, but in most cases there is no significant benefit. The Google Maps API already comes with a set of cross-brower methods that you can easily call from JavaScript directly, as in the example above.

                @jitendra: Can you give us a more detailed example of the iframe method that you are using?
