delay google maps load

Hi,

I need to find a way to delay the google map load.

In my pages I have the standard "<iframe width="250" height="200" .... " google code. Because I have a few maps on the site the pages loads a bit too slow.

Any ideas on how to delay the loading of the maps.

Thank you

maybe loading it with jQuery?

Thank for the static maps idea.
I didn’t know such a thing existed.
