Google Static Maps
I will cut to the chase. The following are two static images showing the location of my college on Google maps.
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="AIT on Google Maps"]
[/caption]
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="AIT on Google Maps with custom marker"]
[/caption]
The following are the two URLs which i constructed in about 5 mins to come up with these images:
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=18.60598,73.87507&zoom=14&size=600x600&sensor=false&format=gif&markers=color:blue|label:A|18.60598,73.87507
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=18.60598,73.87507&zoom=14&size=600x600&sensor=false&format=gif&markers=icon:http://tinyurl.com/62863uh|18.60670,73.87900
Its simpler then saying Google. Or so i think. :D
