Iframe in VisualForce page - Google not displaying

I'm trying to embed an iFrame in a VisualForce page for a Google Maps mashup.  For some reason anything from google.com is not displaying.  Any other domain seems ok.  The code below is a simplified version.  I'd be very grateful for any advice, thanks, John

 

<apex:page>

<!-- this works-->
<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"
src="http://www.bing.com">
</iframe><br />

<!-- this doesn't work-->
<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"
src="http://www.google.com">
</iframe><br />

Google uses the X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN header to block the site displaying in iframes. The X-FRAME-Options header is a security feature to prevent click-jacking attacks.

Thanks Chamil, I see.  In that case, how does one embed a Google map - all the examples I have see have been with IFrames?
