403 Error

Do you have a link to share. I assume that there's some sort of permissions issue with Google Maps. Some sites don't allow embedding content on other sites. When you share a google map, there's also an embed code you can use.

Hi Tom

Thanks for your reply, I'm afraid I can't share the full link on here as its a commerically sensitve map but I used the embed code from googlemaps to create the link which is why I'm struggling to understand the 403 error.

Here's the embed code with the map identifier replaced by (not necessarily the correct number of) x's

<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" width="640" height="480"></iframe>

Here's an example with three links:

1. Used Google Maps share link and you can see it doesn't work.
2. Used the embed code and then insert video from site and pasted the iframe embed code
3. Pulled the URL from the iframe embed code and used a web object

Here's the embed code I used and it worked for me.

https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d25164.271380154!2d23.7273088!3d37.964667299999995!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x14a1bd1837f5acf3%3A0x5c97c042f5eb0df6!2sAcropolis%20of%20Athens!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sgr!4v1705586152206!5m2!1sen!2sgr

Does that code work for you?

Thanks Tom,

It's a bit of a faff but it works brilliantly. I would never have got there on my own.

Glad you got it resolved.
