Google Static Maps image and url generator
A Halloween treat for my fellow developers!
To my surprise, I woke up early today and not being able to go back to sleep i started programming to pass the time. Having recently used the Google Maps API for a couple of freelance projects, i got the idea of building a tool for generating images and API URLs using jQuery and the newly updated Static Maps API. It’s handy for prototyping and easily generating a bunch of different static maps images of different addresses or geocodes. The functionality is somewhat limited and it could be a lot more user friendly… but that will have to wait for another day. In the meantime it gets the job done.
