  Hey Guys, I am using a wordpress.com account @ http://wvcycling.wordpress.com

  I have created a separate tab at the top [/useless info] for a post specifically for displaying an embedded Google Maps page.

  Link: http://wvcycling.wordpress.com/bike-routes-in-wv/

  I keep having issues with the embedding, and have read these forum posts about it, and more that are not listed:

  * https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/inserting-a-map?replies=9#post-204253

  After a while, I was successful in having a google box load up onto the page, but it is showing most of the google maps page also, as shown in the image below:

  

  Any help with what I may be doing wrong, or how to fix this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There we go!

  I changed this

  [googlemaps http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?client=opera&ie=UTF8&oe=utf-8&t=h&source=embed&hl=en&msid=103589597813606242256.00048d421d98332a05ae3&ll=38.754083,-80.90332&spn=3.067062,5.493164&z=7&***amp;amp;source***=embed&w= 500&h= 500]

  to this

  [googlemaps http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?client=opera&ie=UTF8&oe=utf-8&t=h&source=embed&hl=en&msa=0&msid=103589597813606242256.00048d421d98332a05ae3&ll=38.754083,-80.90332&spn=3.067062,5.493164&z=7&***output***=embed&w= 500&h= 500]

  and it worked.
