Honestly I don't remember exactly what URL I used but what showed up in the window was my forum's custom 404 message- which means I could have programmed anything I want into that page/ If you want to try this is a link to a non-existent page on my website: http://www.juot.net/jjjj/joe.html just put that inside the [maps] tag and see what happens, if you get a red 404 error page then I could run any code I've chosen on your site... I just tested this again and got the 404 error page, which could contain any code I want it to- though trust me it's safe for the purpose of this experiment.

If you look at the code given:

<iframe width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="{param}&output=embed"></iframe>

The 'src' of the iframe is completely dependent on the parameter passed to it, it could be any website on any domain- if it's programmed to accept the '&output=embed' reference you can make it show anything.

edit- if you're saying you tried non google URL's and still got back google maps then you probably have the same error other people mentioned- the map isn't updating with new data in the URL- I don't know why that is happening it's not the code. Someone else going to your page would see the 'new' link.
