Issues with Google Maps block

Permalink
I'm trying to get a simple Google Map in the footer of a site I'm developing. I've successfully resized it as necessary, but there are a few little details that make the block almost useless. For starters, it seems to ignore any margin or padding settings on the bottom or right sides. And, even more importantly, it refuses to center over the location in question. When the page loads, the location marker isn't visible at all. Can anyone throw me any pointers, aside from wasting $30 on the Maps Extended addon? A screenshot is attached...

This is almost certainly an html/css issue, and not a maps issue, so the added functionality of any further Maps addon is unlikely to make a difference.

The trick to make it work will I suspect be based on wrapping the map within a div or multiple levels of div, so you have a container for the map block within a nested container for your centering, padding or margins.
