Since its a static map, its returned in image format (note the png at the beginning)
You should be able to: put URL " https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=Berkeley,CA&zoom=14&size=400x400&key=AIzaSyCO423QzwaEEBmiw4XjPKzz4Tcg_5bjHv4" into img "myImage" and viola. have the map appear.
