Disable map controls in Google Maps embed

Question

Is it possible to disable map controls by adding some variables to the Google Maps embed code?

Answer 1

no you can't, but if you use the javascript api you can do this:

 map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), {
      panControl: false,
      zoomControl: false,
      scaleControl: false,
 });

Answer 2

This can be done in one step in V3: Add this to your mapOptions:

disableDefaultUI: true
