Google Maps has seen a small update this week, adding in a rather handy feature along with a redesign.

Namely you can now embed Maps into webpages. The redesign itself has been in a closed beta for a while but it’s since had a lot of features added in. Now anyone can access the beta, and embedded maps are sure to bring people towards it. Look, we did it ourselves!

The embeds work much like the full site. You can search around and even have your locations memorised. It’s another step on getting Google Maps to a full-fledged release, which will hopefully happen soon.
