Here is a link to some instructions on one way to do this using jQuery Colorbox:

Here is some simple code to this. This requires jQuery and the Colorbox plugin (JavaScript and CSS).

HTML

<a class="googleMapPopUp" href="https://maps.google.com.au/maps?q=south+australia" target="_blank">
    View location map
</a>​

JavaScript

$('.googleMapPopUp').each(function() {
    var thisPopup = $(this);
    thisPopup.colorbox({
        iframe: true,
        innerWidth: 400,
        innerHeight: 300,
        opacity: 0.7,
        href: thisPopup.attr('href') + '&ie=UTF8&t=h&output=embed'
    });
});​
