Google Maps
Google Maps is embedded on a large number of sites for interactive maps and location features, loaded through its JavaScript API. It is detected from the maps.googleapis.com loader and map markup.
It is a third-party script with network access to the page; its API key is generally low-risk but still part of a full inventory of the code a site runs.

How ScanMalware detects Google Maps
Google Maps is detected by analysing the response headers, HTML markup, JavaScript runtime and asset URLs captured when ScanMalware loads the site in a real headless browser.
From any scan you can pivot into related signals — JARM TLS fingerprints, ASN ownership and BGP routing, certificate history, JavaScript analysis and the overall security verdict — to understand not just that Google Maps is present, but how it is being used.
