Don't forget that the static map is static: you tell it what you want, and it does it. If you don't tell it what zoom you want, the server has to guess when it creates the image. For one marker, it will create a map which provides a bit of context. Presumably this is acceptable for you. For two or markers, it zooms the map to fit them. If they are close together, this could result in a map showing only a few yards of street. The solution is to fix your zoom with a &zoom= parameter in the URL, as shown in the documentation. What you can't do is limit the guess made by the server. Either let it make the decision or make the decision yourself. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
