Embed Google maps in posts

Hi, I know the code has been taken out to embed in Vanilla but is there a way to add a Google map to a post? I could not find a plugin to do this.

by the admin or by a regular user.

do you have the exact map code you want.
iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d36182.49736029626!2d-73.03041730219519!3d40.83642061410837!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x0000000000000000:0xcbc874706827d7f5!2sGlacier+Ridge+Bike+Trail!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1459377688692" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen></iframe
I suppose you could add it via a plugin. target the particular discussion number and use something similar to the signature plugin. or someone may know of another plugin that can insert things in a discussion and check for discussion or comment id. Maybe a pocket. Sounds very trivial if you know php and have the time.
You can try and use my google earth plugin , but google stopped supporting the google earth browser plugin so it does not work except for Safari .
You can't embed an iframe or object or embed because that is controlled by htmlawed plugin. I know it sucks and makes it less fun and that is why people use facebook and youtube ...
You can't embed anything in vanilla without a plugin like Mediator to parse the url for the content and display it.
It just is not safe.
But I am an admin and I know the content is safe !! Vanilla does not care if you are the Pope... it is to protect from hackers and exploits that would majorly fuck up your website...

A plugin can append to a discussion, comment or just after after the formatting take place. and not be subject to the rules of htmlawed. and be restricted to admin.
Similar to the way advertisements are used - you just can't insert it via the normal post methods without making things insecure.
so it could be safe if the admin didn't occur self - harm.
What a pain. Is it possible to add a pocket to single thread?
You can add a goggle map or anything in a message from the dashboard, in a pocket, in a module. You can't add it inside a discussion...
