How to Remove the Bubble on Google Maps

Google Maps allows you to embed a map onto your website. Although this is a useful tool, you may not want some of what the web application brings with it, namely the location bubble that appears at times. To remove a location bubble so it does not show up on your embedded map, you will need to alter a very small portion of the code.

Instructions

1. Launch your browser. Go to the Google Maps site (see Resources).

2. Find the location that you want to map. Hit "Link" in the upper-left corner of the page.

3. Click the "Customize and preview embedded map" link that appears under the "Link" option.

4. View the code shown on the page. Find the "iwloc=A" or the "iwloc=addr" piece of the code. Replace it with "iwloc=near".

5. Copy the code as you normally would and paste it into your site's HTML code.
