You also run the risk of opening up exploitation, consider if someone were to discover a means of injecting code to the javascript that Google Maps requires to run. Unless you update your bbCode to fix such an exploit, anyone could turn your website into an unwitting host for malware.



So some people do not want to make a bbCode for it.
