  I can not embed my maps from the new version of googlemaps engine lite. I followed all usual steps but the map can not be shown…… Is there a problem of compatibility? What can I do!?
  Thanks!

  Hi there,
  You cannot use the new Google map engine. You must use this older version > http://en.support.wordpress.com/google-maps/

  If you had searched prior to posting this thread you would have located this thread which you can post into now https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/allow-embedding-maps-engine-maps-on-wordpresscom?replies=69

  One of the ways to work around it is to export your Maps Engine data and upload that *.kml file to Google Drive. Open that file on Drive and go to file/embed. It gives you an embed code of a normal Google Map. The only thing you need to do is to set the file as public for the embed code to work.
