How to Create a Google Map Without an API Key

Requesting an API key for Google Maps lets you create fully customizable maps on your website. Even if you don't have an API key, however, you can still create a map for your site. Thanks to Google's embeddable HTML feature, you can also embed the map on your Web page.
