Blogger does not currently have a gadget or widget that will add a Google Map or Street View in your blog sidebar. However, you can add these to your sidebar with a simple procedure similar to the above method for adding to a blog post.
Firstly, copy the “iFrame” embed code. Set a custom width and height that will ensure the size of the map or tour fits into your sidebar. Go your blog dashboard and go to the Layout section.
Then, click to add a Gadget. Select “HTML/JavaScript gadget” in the options and paste the embed code into the content box. Click on Save.
That’s it, you have now added your business location to the blog sidebar.
Google has provided a solution for developers to insert a code which enables any websites to display Google Map in an interactive form. The Maps Embed API allows users to incorporate interactive maps, or Street View photos onto their websites with just a simple HTTP request. Meaning that features such as indoor floor plans, directions, and Street View can also be implemented onto your website. Visitors can now preview your virtual tours straight from your website, regardless of which backend system you used to build your site. This creates a more enjoyable experience for visitors as they can get everything they need all in one place, as opposed to navigating to a different page to view your virtual tour.
Now, here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can insert Google Street View Virtual Tour onto any website:
Step 1: Search for a location on the Google Maps page on your preferred browser.
Step 2: Enter Street View mode, and click on the settings icon, which is located in the bottom right-hand corner.
Step 3: There is an option to embed images, as well as the necessary code to be applied.

In addition, developers have the option to define a latitude and longitude or a panorama ID to specify a location and even the pitch of the camera. You can enjoy the freedom of embedding as much as you want as they are no usage limits.
