Responsive Google Maps Embed

This HTML and CSS shows how to embed a Google Map so that it is responsive and resizes with the window. To use it in your project you need to change two things:

  1. The iframe in the map.html on line 2. You would copy and paste this from the Google Map you wanted to embed
  2. The padding bottom on line 13 of map.css Read the instructions on lines 9–12 of that file.
