Google Maps Engine - embedding problems

We're embedding a Google Maps Engine (not google maps) and we're having some problems with the following:

The only viable option to embed the map seems to be using an iframe, unlike Google Maps which uses a javascript API. The most critical of the items above is the ability to disable the scroll wheel zoom when scrolling the page. Is anyone aware of a way to control this in Google Maps Engine or perhaps a workaround using jQuery or similar?

Effectively we want to disable the scroll wheel whenever the cursor is over the iframe:

setInterval(function(){
if($("#map-iframe").is(":hover")) {
   $("#map-iframe").css("pointer-events:none" );
}
}, 200);

That's not working but even if it was I don't think it's right.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks

If you need additional customization over the default iframe embed, you should use the Google Maps JS API, and the MapsEngineLayer to display your GME data.
