Your best best if just to use Google or Bing maps.
Don't go for the custom Google ones, they charge a bomb and lock down the access. If it's for a Uni project and you're being marked then your supervisor/teacher will have to jump through hoops to set it up on another domain which is a PITA.
Just go with basic maps that achieve what you want, both offer custom markers, and no-one is marking your work based on the pretty colours of the map tiles. (Unless you're doing a design course.)
