Inserting Google Maps

I'm trying to insert a Google Map.  When I click 'show example', I see a google map and then a line with the link I entered. However, when I paste a google map link of my own, I get just the link.  ...

    Thanks for testing it and confirming the problem when the Google Maps URL contains google.ca

     

    I tried the two links you suggested (with google.com) and they worked.  Also I tried another google.ca map URL and it didn't work, but worked when changed to .com

     

    So it looks like a bug (Paper probably should accept google maps URLs from anywhere, eg., including google.ca) but meanwhile at least the workaround is easy (change it to google.com when paste-entering the link in the entry box).
