Easily embed interactive maps and Street View panoramas on your web page using the Maps Embed API with a simple HTTP request.
Configure the src attribute of an iframe with a URL containing parameters like place name, address, or Place ID to specify the map location.
The Maps Embed API is free to use with unlimited usage, offering a quick and straightforward way to integrate Google Maps content.
Get started quickly with an iframe generator, set up your Google Cloud project for development, or explore detailed documentation on embedding maps.

Place an interactive map or Street View panorama on your web page with Maps Embed API. Use a simple HTTP request; no JavaScript required.

Note: Street View imagery comes from two sources: Google (non-public developer-controlled imagery), and the public (UGC, or public user-generated content). Note that there is no way to use only one source of Street View imagery over the other. Learn more about our Street view imagery privacy policy.

You can set the Maps Embed API URL as the src attribute of an iframe. When configuring a src property, the required q parameter can support a URL-escaped place name, address, plus code, or Place ID:

<iframe
  width="600"
  height="450"
  
  loading="lazy"
  allowfullscreen
  referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin"
  src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/place?key=API_KEY
    &q=Space+Needle,Seattle+WA">
</iframe>

Note: All Maps Embed API requests are available at no charge with unlimited usage. For more information, see Usage and Billing.
