How to get the MID of a location in google maps?

Question

I need to add the map in my wordpress site, but i have to put only the characters after ‘mid=’ Example:

-https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?msa=0&mid=zYSGCTGPw92M.kZ0t92LPNDTM the url of the address;

• mid=zYSGCTGPw92M.kZ0t92LPNDTM the part of the url i need to see;
• zYSGCTGPw92M.kZ0t92LPNDTM the code to put in google maps source field.

The problem is that now, whatever address i put in search field of google map, that MID does not change! So in the end i get to have the previous address again. Can anyone give me a hint, how does google maps work now?? How do i get that mid to change?

Thanks all, Best regards!

The procedure to create embed maps to insert in the theme:

Example Address: 3740 Dacoro Lane Castle Rock, CO 80109 -

The right url: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=z3hN7mkYycnw.kUH548HocdUw
