This is not really a ConTeXt-related question, but ConTeXt can include
any image you can feed to it, and potentially fetch images from URL on
the fly. So you first need to figure out how to get the image you
want.
See:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/intro
You first need your own API_KEY.
If you have problems with the interface, ask on stackexchange or
elsewhere. If you have problems with making as automatic workflow as
possible (once you know how to get your PNGs exactly), you may ask
here. But have the rest of the details ready.
ConTeXt supports "natively" drawing OpenStreet Maps, but I doubt it
would work in your case.
