Probably an issue of trademark if people confuse the product with Google Maps.

[embedding-shape]

Do people understand that embedded Google Maps "widgets" are "the product Google Maps"? I think for most people it's just "that map on a website", even if there is labels and stuff explicitly saying "Google Maps".

they won't care as long as it links to google maps when they click it.

speaking of trademarks... when will google walk the xerox plank already?

to google has been a verb for like a decade already
