    I believe you can do something like that using the multimap website (multimap.com). I have seen websites with multimap maps embedded in them.
  • It's easy.. you need to look up the google maps API.. very easy to add googlemaps to your site and make it custom to your needs

    use google maps, its easy enough to get a map or directions. Once you have the directions or just the map of the place you need, click the 'link to this page' in the top right and put the 'embed' code in your site. yes its free.

    they're both free and i'm fairly sure the google one can be embedded.
    Although i haven't done it myself, i've sen it on other sites.
