Google Launches ‘Embedable’ Maps

This was previously written and posted about but the Google Lat Long blog has formally announced it today:

Today we’re excited to announce a new feature on Google Maps that allows you to add maps to your blog or website just by copying and pasting a snippet of HTML. And once you embed the map, it has all the same functionality of the Google Maps you know and love; it’s clickable, draggable, and zoomable.

This corresponds, in a way, to the My Maps feature that allows individuals to customize Google Maps. It will undoubtedly push Google Maps further into the marketplace by making them accessible to non-developers.
