Capturing and including Google maps pictures in email is disallowed by Terms of Service. You can send instead e-mail link to the web page that displays your route. There is an example:
www.marsrutai.info/directions When you construct a route, the page stores route info in the URL fragment. So you can bookmark or include that URL via e-mail, for example www.marsrutai.info/directions/#37.8573,-122.51962,39.90822,-75.14688 Evaldas On Jul 10, 2:12 am, Andrew Leach <[email protected]> wrote: > On Jul 9, 8:56 pm, Anthony <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I was planning on using the > > static map API, and while it solved the main problem of getting a map > > sent out in emails > > I'd be interested to know how you did this and stayed within the Terms > of Service (particularly 10.8).http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html > > Static Maps can show lines: > seehttp://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/#Paths > but you have to draw them yourself: they don't do directions. > > However I think the only way you will accomplish what you want is by > emailing a link to a map which your recipients can print for > themselves.
