How to Create and Embed a Google Map
Google Maps is a utility offered by Google to help you find locations in and around your area and to give you directions on how to get there. Its easy-to-use interface and satellite maps result in more and more people including it in invitations to events as well as their own business websites. If you wish to include your own Google Map on your website, Google makes it simple by providing you with your own customized embed code when you create a map to your location.
