YouTube-style Embeddable Google Maps

We've written before about how easy it is to create your own Google maps. Now Google Maps has added a new feature that makes it possible to add embedded maps to your Website or blog, just as you might a YouTube video. No special computer skills required.

The best part of this new feature is once you embed a map on your site, it has all the functionality of a regular Google Map. Users can click, drag, and zoom in and out. There are all kinds of creative possibilites for nonprofits to use embedded Google Maps on their site. You could post a map to your nonprofit's location or driving directions to an event location. The height and width values of each map are adjustable to it fits to your Webpage or blog.
