Continuing the discussion from [Embedding google maps short urls is broken](https://meta.discourse.org/t/embedding-google-maps-short-urls-is-broken/26615/)

This is a feature request.. could we get the scrolling on embedded maps disabled by default?

Discourse doesn’t actually consume the Google maps API. The oneboxer fiddles with the oneboxed URL until it gets something that can be successfully embedded in an `<iframe>`, so unless there’s an option to disable the mousewheel that can be passed via the query string, this is going to be a problem.

This seems to contain a solution for this problem:

Maybe someone will add it to the Google Maps Onebox.

Sure @techapj can you add this to the outstanding onebox issues along with short Google Maps URLs and the Flickr issue.
