How to get Custom Google Map to work with Web Browser?

I would like to have a custom saved Google Map show in a FileMaker Web Browser window. Google provides a URL for the map, but Filemaker will not display it when put in as a custom address (I think this is because some of the characters are not properly processed by FM). If I paste the URL into my web browser, it works fine (Safari or Firefox).

The URL:

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=

115249005935867093286.00046f72f1a220387436d

Does anyone have a work around for this or know if I'm just doing it wrong?

Any help is appreciated.

The map displays in the web viewer for me. I had to remove a line feed or something from the url you posted though.

Here's my test file.
