Default How to embed goolge maps

Hi all, I'm trying to embed a Google map into my post. How is this done? I have several routs I would like to share, but instead of just posting the link I would rather post a map image that has a click-able link to a full size map, make sense?

Here is an example of what I want to do. Click this link and you can see how these guys are posting their maps, Just scroll down a bit to see the map. I want to do this in my post.

Unfortunately this is currently not possible. It was done, as seen in your example, via HTML.

Posting HTML is disabled on this forum and most any other (responsible) forums due to the fact that it can be abused and misused to cause annoying or unpleasant behavior for readers.

Therefore, you cannot just copy/paste the link that Google Maps provides to do this as it's HTML code.

Instead of HTML being posted within posts, BB code is used. The Administrators can define certain, deemed safe, HTML tags that can be used via BB code. This is how members can post certain HTML inside posts - via BB code.

However, at this time, there is no BB code defined to allow embedding a google map. It would either require defining a BB code or installing a plugin.

My initial belief is that this could be done similar to how the YouTube feature is allowed. But you'd have to get Administration to agree that the feature should be installed.
