An easy way is to use the WebBrowser control. In XAML add:

<WebBrowser x:Name="wbMaps" Source="https://www.google.com/maps"/>

If you are not limited to using Google Maps then take a look at the Bing Maps WPF control for a truly native WPF map solution:

If you need to use Google Maps you can of course use a web browser control and create an interlop to communicate between C# and JavaScript however if you want a native WPF solution then take a look at some open source solutions like the following:
