  Is it at all possible to embed a custom google map using Google Maps JavaScript API v3.

  I am trying to make a map with certain countries colored in and ones that are not, as well as some custom data points.

  I know wordpress doesn’t allow google engine maps yet- which is total BS, but is there a way to embed a map using javascript code.

  example:

  It is possible to use the old version of Google maps by using this guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/google-maps/

  It is not yet possible to use the new Google maps engine code on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/allow-embedding-maps-engine-maps-on-wordpresscom?replies=64
