  Hi, i’ve been trying all code tricks for some hours now – and wondering if it’s just impossible to embed Google Engine Lite Maps on a wordpress.com page?

  Thanks.

  I have already looked at these:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/google-maps/ – works, but only for a usual google map, not for a Google Engine Map

  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.

  Original Maps Engine is here: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zbXRT53qW1lY.kixb9SwwwaBc
