    SO isn't going to code it for you, give it a try yourself and come back if you run into a error. (And no, we can't offer guides / How-to's either, it's off-topic). – Epodax May 18 '15 at 13:37

You could use an iframe with the Google Maps url in it. In that url, you can add a database value by a php variable. Don't forget you need a google api key!

An example iframe:

<iframe
  width="600"
  height="450"
  frameborder="0" style="border:0"
  src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/place?q=Brugge,+België&key=...">
</iframe>

In php, you could add a dynamic database value into the url after 'q'. An example:

<?php
    echo '<iframe
       width="600"
       height="450"
       frameborder="0" style="border:0"
       src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/place?q=' .placevariable. '&key=...">
    </iframe>';
?>
