Hi, I'm developing an application that will use the static maps API
and I have a question regarding the T&C.

The static API itself doesn't provide functionality to plot directions
on the map but it gives the ability to plot a polyline given a string
of coordinates.

The full API does provide functionality for driving directions. The
API can decode them from an alphanumeric string and plot them.

Do the T&C's allow me to make a request to the full API to get the
string representing the directions, decode it to coordinates as the
API normally would and then make a request to the static API with the
coordinates as the path attribute?

I know that plotting the directions on the jpg takes a lot of
processor power which is normally handled by the client on the full
API but the static API only allows you to plot 50 points at a time
anyway. If you pass in any more points no line appears at all.

Or alternatively, can someone tell me if I'm wrong about the static
API not supporting driving directions directly?

Thanks
