Google Maps API... Pulling my hair out! :)

I've spent 2 hours trying to figure how to get my maps responsive.

Anybody have any code snippets that could help me out?

Cheers.

If I understood your problem correctly,

<div class="map">
<center>
    <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d4740.688850990047!2d-118.40631383193103!3d33.74772884283069!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x80dd4c1b2ecf9e91%3A0x2bc910ff9a3c3819!2s20+V%C3%ADa+Capri%2C+Rancho+Palos+Verdes%2C+CA+90275!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1447225826589" width="73%" height="350" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</center>
</div>

#map {
   max-width: 760px;
}

If you see in the html iframe, there is width set to 73%. This means 73% of the screen.

In the css, you can set the max-width for the bigger desk top screens.

Hi Jonathan,

sorry my explanation was poor.

This does work, but the pin doesn't stay in view at smaller screen sizes.
