Simple Google Maps Plugin for WordPress

SimpleMap is the most advanced, most customizable and the most actively updated Google Maps plugin for WordPress. SimpleMap’s primary goal is to simplify the Google Map experience within WordPress for site administrators, visitors, and developers alike. SimpleMap’s General Options page, shortcode API, and custom import / export feature gives the site administrator unrepresented control over the display and functionality of Google Maps on their WordPress powered web site. As a site administrator, you can modify an array of options and default setting including but not limited to the map location, search radius, map type, and map size. Our shortcode interface allows you to overide default setting for single maps, modify the search box properties, and control advanced features. The import / export system within SimpleMap allows administrators to quickly and intuitively add multiple locations to the database at once by updating a CSV file. Our CSV format is extremely flexible, allowing you to import almost any existing CSV while mapping only the data you need for your locations. We even allow you to create location categories and tags on the fly by simply including them in your CSV file. Exporting your data is as simple as clicking a single button. Your data will always be yours for the keeping. As an added bonus, SimpleMap’s location data and general options are included in all core WordPress exports. Of course, adding locations manually is easy as well. Using WordPress

WordPress.com blog plugins & tools?

Can anyone suggest a few tools/plugins for wordpress.com, even if they have to be implemented using widgets? Do these plugins work on blogger too?
