You'll notice a new option in this dialog: "Paste HTML to embed in website". You can either copy this code and tweak things like width and height values to fit in your post or web page or click the "Customize and preview embedded map" link for more options. Here is what you'll see:
I mentioned above that this also works for grabbing geo search results and embedding these in the same fashion. Run a search on Google Maps and you'll notice the link to this page feature will also allow you to take search results for local business queries or user created maps for a location and embed this as a map on your blog/website.
This is a great feature to add the Google My Maps you create directly to your blog posts or webpages. Think of it as syndicating your My Maps mashups!

Hi, there seems to be a bug in Google Maps when you embed into a website.
Look at my help request here:
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-Troubleshooting/browse_thread/thread/499688d623205686/920719aa4c252744#920719aa4c252744
Do you know a fix for this or why it might be happening?
does it work in bulletin boards etc for people I tried my in my fav board and it doesn't work its vbulletin 3.5.5 I think
If you want an embedded map with a sidebar and tooltips for markers try http://www.mapchannels.com or http://www.mymapsplus.com
This works very well, but I have one problem. If I add links to the pop-ups, when the map is embedded these links open inside the iframe - I cannot get them to open in the main window. I've tried adding target="_blank" or target="_top" to the HTML code in the maps, but Google just removes this code - it won't seem to let me save it. Can anyone help?
Quite useful! I've also discovered I can combine this with KML files hosted on a non-Google server (just use the URL of the KML file in the search location field).
Any idea whether you can customize the navigation elements of the embedded map (i.e. use the detailed zoom option instead of +/-)?
If you want to instantly embed popup Google Maps for all the locations on a page, try MapMyPage. MapMyPage is the fastest, easiest way for bloggers and website owners to add Google Maps to any website. Just copy one line of JavaScript into a web page and MapMyPage will automatically add Google Maps to all the locations mentioned in the page.

Hey admin - I'm having the same problem (links open inside the iframe)...
Have you been able to solve this?
I've created a tool that will allow you to embed Google Maps on blogging platforms that strip out iframes e.g., Tumblr. The service is free and can be accessed at http://robksawyer.com/embedr/.
