RETIREMENT DATE FOR GOOGLE MAPS API V2

Google has re-set the expiry date for its google maps to November 19 2013.
On that date, Google will attempt to automagically turn remaining v2 maps into v3 maps, by way of a JavaScript wrapper we will deploy. We expect this wrapper to work for most simple maps, but to avoid any last minute surprises Google strongly encourage sites to complete their migration to v3 ahead of this date. Google have prepared an upgrade guide to help make the migration process as painless as possible

1-click-installs

See our page about 1-click-installs if you dont know what they are.
