Embedding map in email

Options
Can anyone tell me how to embed a google map in an email as an image not a link with the place (a farm) marked on it, in such a way that they can click through and enlarge or shrink to see the area in the normal way with google maps.

I'm sure it must be simple but don't know how. Google maps itself doesn't find this particular property so I need to be able to send the map with it marked to various people.

Thanks very much - Liz

    If you go onto google maps, right click exactly where you want people to get to and then click 'What's here?' it will generate a destination which you can share with people. It will use the geographical coordinates rather than an address.

    Once it generates this as bubble 'A' in the top left of you screen, click on 'more' and then 'send' and you can share it with others.
