function do_googleMaps($atts, $content = null) {
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
"width" => '640',
"height" => '480',

), $atts));
return '<iframe width="'.$width.'" height="'.$height.'" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="'.$src.'&output=embed" ></iframe>';

There is not need to do it this way. YOu can add Google maps very easily with Google Chrome’s extension Zemanta. It shows right next to any post you are edinting. All you do is type the address inside any article post, and automatically a map shows up on the right column (zemanta). You click on it and done!!
I only do coding for things that are worth spending time with.
I recently added a Google map for a Tampa, fl. location. On this clien’s blog (no coding). http://scolibracing.com/

Thanks for the post.
I followed your instructions and had no problem getting the maps to display. The only thing is in your example you give a different width and height in the short code. I changed those numbers to match the map width and height I used in the functions PHP file. I also had to remove two brackets in the shortcode surrounding the url.
Using functions.php like this beats using a plugin any day.
Thanks again,
Emilio

Is there a way to have an embed Bing map of bing using the bird’s eye view but zoomed out? The default zoom is too close and can’t really show the whole neighborhood.

Thanks for showing me this! I had a shortcode like this on my old blog at wordpress.com and i couldn’t figure out how to do it on my new blog until i read this.
By the way you can do this without the quotes around the numbers for width and height: i.e. width=200. The url is TEXT and does require quotes.
