Continuing the discussion from [Embedding custom created Google Maps](https://meta.discourse.org/t/embedding-custom-created-google-maps/41088/2):
One more tiny, awesome detail of Discourse: Because gmaps embeds capture mousewheel events, there’s an invisible shade over the embed that you need to click to remove. Click or tap once, and it’s usable. Don’t click or tap, and you can scroll on by.

Yes, I can repro this on my MacBook (OS X 10.11.3) and iPad mini (iOS 9.3) _Safari_ browser (works fine on iPhone 6 safari though). Added on my list. ✏
