Is there a way using static maps that google maps can display directions drawn on the image as with the javascript API. That is a way of loading the static map image with the route to be taken drawn on them.
Any ideas?

The static maps API only supports markers, not directions. You’ve have to use the normal Javascript API. You could lock down the zoom/drag/scroll options etc so for all intents and purposes it could appear static to the user.
