Google Maps Embed - Remove Place Card

Question

I'm using the new Google maps embed code (iFrame) to add a small map to my website, but I can't hide the new address box in the top left corner (see image below).

I have generated the map code by clicking the "Share and embed map" option (see image below), but I'm wondering if I need to use the full API to achieve this.

All of the resources I've found so far just discuss the old embedding version and disabling the information balloon which is not the same, and the only clue I've got is that the HTML class of the box is called "place-card" but searching is still bringing me nothing.

Any help or point in the right direction would be much appreciated.

You can hide all buttons with css. Create a container div width overflow on hidden and the sizes you need. Place the new google maps iframe/embed inside with a largersize. To position the maps iframe use negative marges..

Example with 100% width:

<div style="width: 100%; overflow: hidden; height: 300px;">
  <iframe 
     src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d39797.07748547086!2d5.46683904751879!3d51.433965676849986!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x47c6d90575ca5e3d%3A0x55989f5f344b006!2sPrins+Hendrikstraat+5!5e0!3m2!1snl!2snl!4v1392716144537"
     width="100%"
     height="600"
     frameborder="0"
     style="border:0; margin-top: -150px;">
  </iframe>
</div>

Make the iframe 300px higher than your container div. 150px to hide below and 150px to hide on top. To hide this 150 on the top of the iframe use:

margin-top: -150px;
