Lots of web sites do this and Google provide an API to support it.

Then you will need to persuade Google to do it for you. They own that 
web site and you cannot modify it, only they can do that. I should think 
its highly unlikely they would agree.

That's no excuse, you just need to learn how.

No, you could use pretty much any programming language you
choose from Ada to ZPL... But python would certainly be a
contender.

Start reading about how to build websites in Python and
then study the Google maps API.
