If you're browsing with an embedded maps iframe using your trackpad or mouse, you can potentially trap yourself into the Maps' zooming capabilities, which is really annoying.

Try it here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/guide#overview

Is there a way to prevent this?

You can just disable the scroll wheel functionality

options = $.extend({ scrollwheel: false, navigationControl: false, mapTypeControl: false, scaleControl: false, draggable: false, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }, options);

Is it possible to disable mouse scroll wheel zoom on embedded Google Maps?

Here is preety good answer. In my case it need to be fixed with jquery to work perfect. My code is:

HTML

<div class="overlay"></div>
<iframe src="#MAP_LINK#" width="1220" height="700" frameborder="0" style="border:0; margin-top: 20px;" ></iframe>

CSS

.overlay {
background:transparent; 
position:relative; 
width:1220px;
height:720px; /* your iframe height */
top:720px;  /* your iframe height */
margin-top:-720px;  /* your iframe height */
}

JQUERY

$('.overlay').click(function(){
$(this).removeClass('overlay');
});

I had many maps within my website so I modified @Ronaldinho Learn Coding answer to a more general one.

$( document ).ready(function() {
   $('.scroll-safe-map').addClass('scrolloff'); 
   $('.map-control-scroll').on('click', function() {
       $('.scroll-safe-map').removeClass('scrolloff');
   });
   $('.map-control-scroll').mouseleave(function() {
       $('.scroll-safe-map').addClass('scrolloff'); 
   });    
});
