Create Simple Static Maps

If your location has not registered or can not register on Google Maps through Google Static Map Wizard, created by Google, you can use the map tool on this page to create static maps for your own.

Drag the cursor to your location on the map and then click on that position. A map data window on your location will appear on the map. Then you can copy and paste the parameters corresponding on map data window in the form below:

Then you can copy and paste the HTML code to anywhere on your site. View a sample on our Contact page.

Parameters:

LATITUDE,LONGITUDE: (required), Latitude,Longitude value on information window at your position. This parameter takes a comma-separated {latitude,longitude} pair (e.g. "40.714728,-73.998672") identifying a unique location on the face of the earth. Longitude values are based on their distance from Greenwich, England.

COLOR: Color for map makers such as black, brown, green, purple, yellow, blue, gray, orange, red, white. included parameter: normal (default), tiny, mid, small. e.g. tinyred, smallblue.

ZOOM_LEVEL: Zoom level defines the zoom level of the map, which determines the magnification level of the map. This parameter takes a numerical value corresponding to the zoom level of the region desired. Zoom levels between 0 (the lowest zoom level, in which the entire world can be seen on one map) to 19 (the highest zoom level, down to individual buildings) are possible within the normal maps view.

XxY: Size defines the rectangular dimensions of the map image. This parameter takes a string of the form valuexvalue where horizontal pixels (X) are denoted first while vertical pixels (Y) are denoted second. For example, 500x400 defines a map 500 pixels wide by 400 pixels high. If you create a static map that is 100 pixels wide or smaller, the "Powered by Google" logo is automatically reduced in size.

MAP_TYPE: roadmap (default If no maptype value is specified), mobile, satellite, terrain, hybrid, mapmaker-roadmap or mapmaker-hybrid specifies a roadmap using tiles from Google Map Maker.

MAPS_API_KEY: (required) please sign up for a Google Maps API key.
