The code for nested frames is similar to any other nested tags. But it becomes confusing with nested frames. Nesting can be avoided by referencing other web page with frames, by embedding the frames in the current web page.

Inline Frames – It is used to include an web page in another web page. The <iframe> tag is used for this purpose due to their flexibility of being included anywhere on a web page, like an image. An inline frame is defined with the <iframe> tag. The <iframe> tag is not used within a <frameset> tag, instead, it appears anywhere in your document.

As google maps use <iframe> tag to embed an map location in a web page as displayed
