Hey all, this is not a question, but rather I just thought I would share this handy little trick I learned. I have a site that has a google map for each of the store's locations. But the embedded map itself is not large so that little location bubble that pops up is always cut off and looks dumb.

Well I learned this handy trick. In the map embed code, look near the end of the src of the iframe, it says iwloc=A --- this is the culprit. Change the A to say near so that it now says iwloc=near

In context, it looks like this

 <iframe src="...blahblahblahcode...0.02326&amp;z=14&amp;iwloc=near&amp;output=embed"></iframe>

This will just show the little pin on the location but remove the big dumb bubble.

Just thought that might be useful for someone!
