Here is the problem I am having with the static maps: First a description of the web page used for testing. I used asp.net and placed an HTML "img" tag on the page. For the "src" I used a very simple GET request: src="http://maps.google.com/staticmap? center=39.580123,-104.123456&zoom=12&size=220x180&maptype=mobile&markers= 39.580123,-104.123456,tinyred&sensor=false&key=MY_KEY_HERE"
When I access this page from the server using "localhost", the static map is drawn with no problem. However, I am not able to render an image when the page is accessed from another IP. BUT...the image sometimes will render from another IP if the SAME map was recently requested from the server. This behavior suggests to me that if the exact image is cached on the Google server, it will send it. If not, it fails because of some license KEY check. After carefully reading the Terms, it is clear that although the KEY is required in the GET request, the static map image is returned even if the IP of the request does not match the IP of the key. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
