Embedding an interactive Google Map
Hello community. I would like to embed an interactive Google map into my Storyline project and am running into some issues. What I am looking for is having a portion of the screen be an interactive Google map, while some text and other objects are presented explaining information about the location.
For example, lets say the location is 244 5th Avenue, New York, NY 10001. I can get the URL for the entire map which is https://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&q=244+5th+Avenue,+New+York,+NY+10001&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x89c259a615595747:0xafa42844a5f4ef8f,244+5th+Ave,+New+York,+NY+10001,+USA&gl=ca&ei=Xgz3UK-sDKm90AHoxoGICg&ved=0CC4Q8gEwAA
I dont want all the extra frames, just a small portion of the map.
The next thing I tried was clicking the link button towards the top left corner which brings up this;
This is exactly what I am looking for but the embed code is not working for me as it cannot be directly entered into Storyline.
So my question is, how can I do this? Do I need to execute some Javascript? If so can anyone assist with that?
Thank you in advance.

If you go to http://www.copyblogger.com/grammar-goofs/ and right click on the infographic you can select Save Picture As...
then in Storyline go to Insert -> Picture
Yeah, I was thinking about the size and completely forgot about the scrolling panel. Great suggestion. Thanks Joe!
Joe - can you share the final output with us...even if it's just a screen capture. I just received a project and it's very similar to yours.
Thanks in advance.
This still works!
Insert -> Video -> Video from Website
