One more thought on this thing: If you're on a custom domain (as I am) the map won't display in the Rich-Text Editor. On the Blog however it will appear just fine. That is because your Google allows the image to be loaded only from the domain associated with the API-Key.

Multiple API-Keys for multiple domains are possible

Google now allows you to embed a map as an image without JavaScript, which works just fine with WP.com's security policy.

However you'll need to read the instructions from Google carefully, since this is a little more complicated than just pasting the code as usual.

However, when you next open the post it disappears and you're just left with a 'view larger map' link at the bottom.
Any ideas?
