Yes I knew about drawing lines on a My Map; the interface to do is quite awkward to use, but only straight segments and AFAIK there's no way to set color or line width or dash/dot. In other words, it is like so much about Google Maps: it is infuriating because it teases you with what it could be but is not. Thank you very much, however, for leading me to what I couldn't find before, the iframe embed code for a "my map". It isn't anywhere under "Share" of course; it's hidden under the folder icon. However, when I do embed a my map, as here: http://thispageintentionally.blogspot.no/2014/07/test-post-of-google-map.html http://thispageintentionally.blogspot.no/2014/07/test-post-o... ...the layer menu fills 1/3 of the iframe and won't go away. Another demonstration of GMaps teasing you with function that is almost helpful but not. Here's another: in My Maps you can create a layer that includes directions from A to B for car, bike or walking, but you cannot show directions using the public transit mode. Why? What tourist does not want to show a route that involved a train or bus? Yet another: when you create a layer with directions, it does not support directions to/from any of the points you've defined on that or another layer. Each destination has to be a new search. Anyway excuse the anti-GMaps rant; my point is that this an application that would have wide use by many, the underlying engine (Maps API) is there, a clean, well-thought-out UI based on that engine could be a winner.
