Google static maps

I was creating an email notification and wanted to add a Google map to the body of the email.  I found the embed code on Google Maps and added it to a sample HMTL file.  It worked fine in a web browser.  But, when I transferred the HTML code to an email message and sent it, the map wouldn’t load.  I did some research about found out the JavaScript in the iframe tag is not allowed in email message for security reasons.  Make a lot of sense.  So, did some more research and found a way to get a static image from Google Maps and add the hyperlink code to make it behave in a similar fashion.
