 * I’d prefer to embed an iframe from Google Maps vs using their API. It’s less 
   of a hassle in the short and long term. Is that possible with your plugin (WP
   Store Locator)? Is there any way to use the plugin without a google api key?

 * No, unfortunately not. Google requires the API keys if you load the map on your
   site itself, there’s no way around that at the moment.
 * I never really looked into the advantages / disadvantages of loading it through
   an iframe to be honest. Will take a look at that soon.
