I am using the Static Google Maps API v2 to download a static image

  • 0

I am using the Static Google Maps API v2 to download a static image of a map view with a singular marker just showing one image. However, the image added to the marker parameter of the url doesn’t seem to be making any difference, and just a red marker is shown at the location.

Please can you tell me where I am going wrong?

    your image URL must remove the letter S HTTPS secure site, so work, for example like this:

    http://foursquare.com/img/categories_v2/shops/financial_bg_64.png

    complete code:

    http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?
center=37.446754,-77.572746&size=70x61&maptype=roadmap&sensor=false
&scale=2&zoom=15
