The Maps Embed API overview

Place an interactive map or Street View panorama on your web page with Maps Embed API. Use a simple HTTP request; no JavaScript required.

You can set the Maps Embed API URL as the src attribute of an iframe. When configuring a src property, the required q parameter can support a URL-escaped place name, address, plus code, or Place ID:

<iframe
  width="600"
  height="450"
  style="border:0"
  loading="lazy"
  allowfullscreen
  referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin"
  src="/sitelet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fmaps%2Fembed%2Fv1%2Fplace%3Fkey%3D%253Cspan%2520data-devsite-credential-type%3D"api_key" class="replaceable-credential">API_KEY
    &q=Space+Needle,Seattle+WA">
</iframe>
